Just installed RE 3.5 coils and bastard pack leafs. JK take offs installed.
Front axle is about offset 1-2 inches on drivers side. Had to wrestle track bar to get it in the hole.
Adjustable track bar coming this week.
Brake lines are def needed in front.
Truck was sagging pretty low before install.
My height from ground to top of wheel well/flare is 34". +/- 1/4"
Does this jive with a 3.5 lift?
Just seems super high. Hope I don't come across any major issues after test drive.
Its not a dd just wanted a spare vehicle not a huge project.

Measure from the center of the hub to the bottom of the factory fender flare. It's about 17 inches stock.
And RE locate your brake lines they should be long enough.

You can also measure from the top of the axle tube to the bottom of the unibody. Should be 6"s stock. Any more than that is lift.

all AAL kits sag. Given enough time and use, they all sag back to close to stock height. What AAL kit you start out with doesn't matter, the final result will be the same.
For a 4.5" kit, an AAL would be a horrible solution to get the lift. Strongly suggest new full leaf packs or a bastard pack with multiple added leaves

no aal would be better. AAL's a poor solution to obtain more lift. They ride terrible, sag, and can even snap the rest of the leafs. You'd be much happier in the end spending the extra coin for new full packs.
