Hard to say.
Is there a proper way to actual measure how much lift you are getting or the difference from from front to rear?

Measure from the center of the hub to the bottom of the stock flares (that is, if your flares are stock). Stock measurements are 17.5 " in the front and 17" in the rear.

Can't answer any of your other questions - but the ACOS adds a minimum of 1.25".

If it was a kit and they sent the shackles. You should put them on. Now if you bought the leaves and the coils seperate, like i did, you have to buy the shackles too. When i bought the 8" coils, the leaves were 7.5" lift. So the shackle added the other .5" lift.

After installing new skyjacker 6" front springs and new skyjacker 6" leaf springs, the front is sitting slightly higher than the front. We used the stock rear shackle, figuring we would get 6" all around.
Here is a bunch of questions
Would adding a longer shackle be the best way of leveling it off?
For those of you with skyjacker 6" lifts, the rear shackle they provide, is it longer than stock?
We will be installing a winch within the next week, will it influence the height in the front and should I wait and let it settle in before adjusting the rear?
How much sag from the front coils can you expect over time from a heavy winch and bumper?
Would an ACOS device be good to plan from the beginning to anticipate for some spring sag? And what is the minimum lift height the ACOS adds (Didn't want to go much over 6").
Thanks ahead for any help and responses.
