Finnally got my lift installed! Adventure lift springs from H&R. Advertised lift is +1.5" front and +0.9" rear, but according to my measurements, it's much more than that. After measuring from the shop floor to the top of each fender, seems to have raised the front ~2.5" in the front and ~1.5" in the rear. Now, there could be some slight inaccuracies in my measurements as I was just using a tape measure, but it's definitely a greater lift than advertised. I will however, measure it again after some time and see if it's settled a bit lower after initial installation.
Installation itself wasn't too difficult, provided you have access to basic spring compressors and a good set of tools. I'm fortunate enough to have a buddy who's a mechanic and has keys to an auto club. So we had access to a hoist, good amount of tools, some basic spring compressors, and two sets of hands, which made things easier.
As far as ride goes, it feels the same over bumps as stock, but it feels much flatter around corners surprisingly. I've been taking some turns faster than I normally would and it feels way more planted than stock, which is surprising but welcome.
Overall, I'm happy with the lift. It drives well, and I think it looks great. That being said, lifting the front that much has me feeling mildly concerned about suspension longevity, but we'll see how it holds up
.
P.S. tires with the black sidewalls are Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2's also in 235/70R17, in case anyone's wondering.
