Just installed the RE 3.5" for a JKU on my jk hard top with upgraded bilsteins. The front came up to a nice level, but the rear came up EXTREMELY high. I expect some settling to occur, but will it be enough to bring it down to an acceptable level? My bumper will only weigh 48#, so that won't be a huge help.

Similar happened to me after my RC 4 inch lift. Installing a 0.75 inch Coil spacer lift this weekend to compensate. I also have a 35 inch MT spare on the rear, that may be helping me.

Did you take measurements and compare to stock numbers? Would be curious as to the lift difference.

I'd say it may be like 4 or so because that's a light weight rig but the flat fenders definitely add to the it looks like 6" of lift

I got more than 3.5 with my RK 3.5. But I haven't measure it yet. Going to wait to see when it settles a little. After the bumpers and tire carrier and winch, hopefully it stays at 3.5.
It might settle a little more, I'm no engineer so can't be too sure though lol. But it looks great! 2 door hard tops look legit.
