Here's the thread from when I did my lift last year. I have added the rear ladder and rear bumper from Rock Rover since.

Are you considering lifting a P38?

I forgot to measure before I started, so I don't know what it was originally. If someone would be willing to make a measurement from ground to wheel well in each EAS mode front and back that would be sweet.
But you should definitely do it. It's really not that hard at all, and not many people have done it. It's a very capable vehicle, even when stock.
Since the rear bumper I haven't really done much with mine (been focusing on school.. er.. trying anyway..), and therefor still have a ton I would like to do. ie air lockers, front winch bumper, sliders, underbody protection.. you get the gist..
Also, depending on what you're looking to do/spend/how much comfort you're looking to give up, or keep, you might want to take a look at this: The AiRock system seems awesome, but I haven't heard of anyone to do it. I almost wish this was around, or I knew about it, when I did my lift.

i know a guy that has the airrock system on his 95 lwb and he likes it. i am trying to eliminate the EAS all together, not upgrade.
i know that the RTE 3" springs yield closer to 4" of lift once installed. of course when winches, bumpers, and cargo are involved that height decreases.
You should post some additional pics of yours with the recent mods.

Okay. I have some of the not-so-recent-but-more-recent-than-those somewhere that I'll look around for. I'll also take some of the bumper asap.
I used all the same stuff as Alan Bates at rockrover.com. He has an entire walkthrough of how to do the list, what parts, and expected measurments. You can find all this under the Tech Articles.
The ride is rough. I've heard that it's just the OME springs, which are very stiff. The Bilstien shocks seem to work fine though and don't really cause the rough ride.
If you're going with RTE I think it should ride better, but I'm not really sure.

Not really.. we just pulled the hose going into the spring. So kind of I guess.

heres a couple pics of my '38
i got about 3.75inches lift over standard ride height with HD DII OME springs and 33" tires. after the lift about 36.5 to top of fender in the front and 37.75 in the rear (as pictured)

Because we don't question Alan Bates. Haha, JK. But I was thinking about simply doing that.. in the distant-ish furture of corse.

Relocation brackets were easier because longer shocks weren't available at the time that you could bolt in. You can get longer shocks now, but still need to modify the mounts.
