you have to factor in how much your front suspension is sagged and how much the donor is sagged..it doesnt necessarily give you much lift at all (less than an inch) rather than restore ride height.
Keep this example in mind...if you have a r/c s/b 4x4 with a 302 in it and the front springs are sacked right out and you go pull a fresher pair from a 3/4 ton with a 460 in it the 302 wont squish the springs down as far as the 460 would, also since they were fresh and your 1/2 ton ones were sacked they also restored origional ride height. Both those factors could gain you 3", but it may not be 3" over stock.
