OK, so the lift is in!

Front before (Ave of the two sides): 465mm centre of hub to bottom of wheel arch
Rear before: 465mm

Front after: 494mm, Rear after: 517mm

So only about an inch out of the front, but the full 2inches out of the rear. The mechanic said the rear was about 70mm when it went in but it's settled a bit.

I was expecting a bit more lift out of it, especially in the front but will see how it settles. Might have to do a clevis lift to even things out.

After:

You can use some prado steel front packers for a clevis lift just cut a notch in them to slip over the front strut

The TJM heavy duty kit gave me 6cm lift in the back and 4.5cm in the front. I then installed a 10mm clevis lift (using the spacers included in the kit) which gave me an extra 1.5cm, so now I am perfectly balanced front and back.

Any pics KJ75? Do you have measurements from centre of hub to lip of guard for reference to see how much difference there is with mine?
