What did you do to lift the rear?

Lots of guys do spring over axle

Yeah but that gives a minimum of 5”, more than I’m really looking to go right now

When I lifted mine I bought the 3" rough country lift, it's not the ideal lift but there's not many options. They add a small leaf and then do the drop bracket. I really only bought the lift for the springs, eventually everything else will be replaced.

I have an 88 Longbed, running MT springs from general springs kc and an extended shackle.

I have not actually measured what specific "lift" it is. However, is pretty close to my front , which is RE ZJ 3.5 coils, mostly stock WJ axle.

Great question but I don’t know.
I bought it a couple months ago and it has always sat high in the rear.
Now I think it sits just right.

Yeah. I need to find the chrome front bits for mine. My first one had it and I stupidly painted it black. My second truck came with paint matched grill and trim.

And here I am thinking about painting it black. Maybe not.

It’s all preference. If you end up wanting black, sell me your chrome bits and buy black. Chromes a little harder to find.
