    About 2.5" adjustable to 3" but it will be a harsher ride and wear your CVs in front faster at 3" of lift. Looks like it needs an add a leaf or rear spring too. Then again a drop bracket lift need new rear springs and shocks as well.

    The 4.5" drop bracket lift may be taller and not increase angles on your CVs but it does not increase ground clearance up front and does not give more travel... and it is permanant due to cutting.

    The long travel route needs to have new fiberglass fenders added into the cost as well. Cost prohibative if you are not SURE you need it. The rear suspension will require extensive modifications and cost more than the rear for a drop bracket or mid travel set up that uses the stock spring location.

    its gives more travel than a standard 3" lift... because you get longer shocks and get all your stock travel back.

    most kits come with rear shocks, the RCD kits comes with front and rear shocks and you reuse you stock springs.

    and yes it is permanent

    You might be because I don't have a satoshi grill. I'm rolling on 24's with a lift and a blinged out cow catcher. Good luck on your lift
