the front kybs lifter the front about 2" from what it was & im sure it was sagged at least 1" from stock. so the kybs added about 1" over stock after about 1000 miles to settle in. looks close to level & if i want more up front i can add a spacer... but i dont off road so not worried about a lift.
i did all the work myself too & was pretty easy, hardest part was undoing the xreas connections. had to cut the rear top bolts on the shocks with a sawzall since the flex in the shock makes it hard to get the torque needed on the bolt. i plan to get the poly sway bar bushings too, my front end links looked & felt fine so i reused them.

You say the KYB plus front shock provides a little bit of lift from stock, could you measure from the fender opening to the center of the hub/wheel so I can compared it to mine?
I will be doing my shocks in the near future and I'm thinking of going with the KYBs and I want to compare your measurement to mine which has a 1" spacer in it at present.
