Took the chance to do a new round of measurements and height test, combined with stock height measurements
Stock:
Cooper AT3 4S 275/60/20, 33"
Front height: 33 1/8"
Rear height: 39 1/4"
Current mods as of 10/15/2020
Front Mods weight: 158lbs
Center mods weight: 160lbs
Rear mods weight: 489lbs
Tires: Patagonia MT 315/70/17, 34.7"
Tire height difference: 34.7"-33" = 1.7"/2 = 0.85" at the axel
Front measurements:
Coilovers: King 2.5 Piggybacks 500lbs 14" springs, 14 threads driver, 13 threads passenger
Ground to fender: 39 3/4"
Hub to fender: 23 3/8
Hub to fender at max droop: 26 5/8
Total droop travel: 3 1/4", highly refreshing as i always measured 2.75" when measuring the edge of the tire at ground height and max droop
Coilover Preload above adjusters: 1 3/8 driver, 1 1/4" passenger
Top hat to Coilover: Driver: 20 3/4" , Passenger: 20 3/4
Rear:
Clayton 2.5" rear springs
Hub to fender: 24 3/4"
Ground to fender: 41 1/2"
--------------------------------------------- Stock vs modded ----------------
current front gain with respect to stock : 36.125" -- 38.9" = Total: 2.77" lift
current rear gain with respect to stock: 39.25" -- 40.65" = Total: 1.4" lift
This accounts for extra weight from mods, and excludes the 0.85" extra height from the 315 tires so i can compare apples to apples as if i had 33" tires.
Also wanted so compare CV angles for chit and giggles since i'm not using spacers.
I've documented the different heights i've had throught the mods i've done:
For instance the Rancho QL that most say don't lift not even 2" ended up giving me the advertised 2.25' after they settled, 2.5" after the install
CV Angle at 2.25" Rancho QL's, ground to fender 39.25", Falken AT3W 315/70/17

CV Angles lifting the front .875" (lifted the front in full with jack and then i just left the CO's settle down without moving, then measured both sides. So literally this is how i'd guess the CV's will look if i turned my CO's to their max for a 3.5-3.6" lift
Ground to fender: 40.625"

And this are the CV's angles at the absolute max droop, all the 3 1/4 down travel eaten in full
