that's correct, the fronts are slightly taller than the rear.

You get more lift than the actual height of the spacers due to the motion ratio of the suspension (length relationship between the pivot point of the control arm on the chassis, the lower strut mount, and the lower ball joint)

For the front, this means that your lift will be about 1.55 times the height of the spacer. The spacer is about 1.625" so multiply that by 1.55 and you should get around 2.5" of lift not counting what you get from larger tires. In the rear the motion ratio is different so you get a little less lift, so with the slightly shorter spacer you'll pretty much be level with both sets of spacers installed.

Thank you for the info

How bad was the alignment after the lift? I am looking at doing this to my 09 EB 4.6

Its always good to have the alignment checked after a suspension upgrade. Lifting or lowering will alter the toe and chamber of your tires on vehicles with independent suspension. A bad toe angle will eat an expencive set of tires up quickly. Toe is easily adjusted at home with basic skills. Chamber is another story.
