Did not like shock extension brackets at all, huge difference upgrading to ome shocks. Eventually added jks quicker discos for convenience. Waiting to see how sport coils hold up for winch.

Been running mine for about 9 months no issues complaints at all! Rides just like stock. Having said that if I had to do over I would go with the 2 1.2" spring/shock kit from AEV in an effort to improve handling. The stock handling isn't bad but could certainly use some improvement which from what I've read can be gained by using the 2 1/2" AEV kit.

I have the spacer kit on my '12, Originally i was saving up to get the 2.5" kit but couldn't swing the $$$ for the 2.5" kit and the new tires, so i had to go with the spacer kit. I really dont have any complaints about it, it still rides as smooth as stock, it looks more aggresive, its a fairly simple DIY install, it's just time consuming without the proper equipment. I too am not a big fan of the shock extenders so i plan on adding longer shocks but with that being said it has NO problems with the stock ones.

I have the spacer lift as well. I have a RR front bumper with mile marker winch. If I was going to upgrade the shocks to OME should I get the heavy duty or light duty ones? Thanks
