You'll only get 4.5 inches total out of the rear setup. I got 3.5 inches out of 2" OME leaf springs and 3" shackle.

i was under the impression that RE leafs sit higher than what they are rated.

RE's leaves due sit high, I had to pull a leaf out of them and that settled it down. It also eased up the ride.

I have 3.5" RE packs with a 1" Skyjacker greaseable shackle, and 4.5" RE coils up front and it sits higher in the rear a bit, probably about an inch.

My RE springs that came with my 3.5 Superflex Kit suck. My jeep did sit A$$ high, and now it sits level.
They are very stiff, the rear of my XJ rides like a rock.

From quickly measuring the center of bolt head to center of bolt head, I got 5 3/4". I measured my stock Jeep shackles, and from center of bolt hole to center of bolt hole it is 3 1/4".

My 4.5 leafs with a 2 inch shackle sat like 7.5 inchs when new. They are broken-in now and set lower.
