I'm unsure what most are running, I would imagine the one for our platform.
Here is the BDS thread about it if you haven't found it.

The Fox 2.0 for our platform is already longer than stock.

so in Fishsticks build he has a rough country 2 inch lift + a top spacer from SMAXX + some washers installed between his strut and spacer as well as 88 springs.
Mark's new lift (The LiftMeister) is about 3 inches in the front. I would expect Mark's new lift is very similar in height to the suspension aspect of Fishsticks build(without the springs). I would also expect many here would agree it is close to the limit you can lift the suspension without adding heavy components like a winch/bumper and skid plates. Fishsticks has the stiffer 88 springs which are no longer available. They provide more lift but it is offset at least some by a winch bumper and skid plates. You might be able to go a little taller but you would very soon have CV binding when a wheel tries to turn at full droop.
I don't think you can use (or need) a top spacer if you get Mark's new lift.
Look up MarkMC in the vendor section and send him an email, he might be able to ship to you cheaper than other vendors. He is a great vendor to work with.

Best bet would be to order through his site, now that its up and running.
theliftmeister.com
There is a contact form on there if you have questions, Mark is usually on the ball with emails, took all of 5 mins for me to get a response with the info I needed.

I never really wheeled the 35s just played at farm some. I did them more to see if it was possible since no one had. I have brand new 35s in the garage because I wanted the extra inch of ground clearance
they've always worked for me.
