    Best bet is to set up your height to whatever you want it to be and just keep an eye on your CV joints.

    No I just thought you had specific information from ADS, not something from some random forum member. They may well be correct but I have a friend whose cv boots would disagree. He has since lowered it back down to 2” net lift on his 2016.

    Looking for exactly that..
    2 1/2" up front and 2" rear lift.
    Really would like the manual locking hub kit but can't afford it but how sweet it would be to not have the axles turn unless in 4 wheel drive saving the cv boots,
    Having no parasitic power loss increasing performance and mileage...

    Leveling it out all comes down to leaving the overload leaf in if you go AAL.
    Overload lifts the rear end a tiny bit too much which makes it a task to level the front with fox shocks.
    If you want 'armor' on your front end and want to use AAL with overload..forget the stock fox springs.

    With RXT springs on the #2 configuration I should net about 2" and was told I could get a right at 2 1/2" up front so was hoping this would end up being correct. Right now I'm at 20 1/2 hub to fender front and 21 1/2" hub to fender rear so if I can get what I'm looking for I'll still have about 1/2" of rake.

    I had no problem jumping out and locking the hubs on my first gen. Haven’t researched this at all. “About” what’s the cost?

    Just finished leveling my setup with the new Fox 2.5 DSC shocks. I'm running 14" 650lb coils and my measurements are 23" drivers side and 23.25" passenger; measurements are hub to fender. Driver's side needed a good bit more preload than the passenger side which I believe to be par for the course. The amount of preload is shown in the pictures below. Going to experiment with the compression adjusters soon.

    Driver's side.

    I'm running the Fox 2.5" DSC in the rear with a dakar leaf pack. I'm running BFG KO2 34/17/10.5 tires.

    Nice. I was going to go that setup, but I was told the 2.5 rears can only be applied to 1.5" lifts. Aren't the Dakars 2" off that bat? Did you remove a leaf?
