I have the RE 3.5" Super Flex on mine. Put it on in June. Also, 31 in. tires. Measuring with a yardstick the difference after it came to about just under 5" with the new tires. However, just went out and measured it and its settled to about 4.2".
I have pictures of it and the install on my computer. If someone can tell me how to post it, I'll put them on for you to look at.
Almost forgot, I can fit 32s on if I wanted. Mostly because I trimmed the front fender flares.

I got about 4" with my front RE springs, add in my two inch spacers and voila, 6".

Jeep Cherokee, that's exactly the setup I want eventually! What year is yours? Do you have any vibes from the lift? Do you think you'll need a SYE?

I've got a 99 and yes I've got bad vibes.. even with a 1" t-case drop... SYE is definitely in my future :)
