I have the EVO 4.5 3+ kit. I am running Nitro 37s and it sits at 6' 8 3/4" (very tall). From the top of the tire to the front fender there is about 10". I have only had the lift installed for about 500 miles. If I were going to do it again and run 37s I would go with the 2.5" lift. Since I did the 4.5" I am already looking at how to run 40s. This is a daily driver for me and will not be doing much hardcore wheeling.

That's how much lift I will need/want on my JT. At the present time, my Rubi rails are stump grinders. Today, the wife even told me that the JTR needs a proper lift!

I can’t speak for the 4.5” but I like the 6.5”.
It’s tall but looks awesome.

Do you have problems with your springs sitting correctly? My passenger side bows inward even after using the correction spacers. I've read I need to try removing the spacers back to stock. Alignment and trackbar all dialed in.

No spacers and mine sits just fine. Over 12k on the kit

I have the exact set up your contemplating on using. Evo 4.5 overlander 37” pro coopers and fox 2.5 performance elite shocks.
as for the ride amazing! Not a single complaint about it. Off-road use, I’ve had two former jeeps with fab tech and a Mopar lifts. This set up out performs anything I’ve used in the past. Pricey yes, worthy of the cost? I say yes. We all have are preferences this was mine and I’m happy with it.

Hey does this fit in your garage (assuming you have a stand height garage door)? Thanks
