I got 7 3/4 inches from a RC 4.5" X series with full leaf packs. It's higher the my old one with a 4.5" RE lift and 33" swampers and I'm still on the stock 215 tires.

I ended up with 7 inches in the front and 7.5 in the back measured from the ground to the middle lip of the flare with the day the lift was done with p2225 on. I feel like it has gone down some in the last 5 months but but not a alot.
