As an update to this kit, so far it has been worth every penny.
I understand the limitations of this kit, and for what it is I still recommend it if you are in my situation, which is basically what I consider to be a performance leveling kit with a small lift
I was able to get a free pair of rear links from another member to get my front sway bar closer to level as well so that helped too.
And the shocks work... for DD'ing and when the wife is driving it I run 1 in the front and 3 in the rear.
After a week of keeping it there i adjusted it to 8/10 and almost immediately noticed a difference in ride quality while on the road, much stiffer. Now i just need to get off road!!!
My only negative is to anyone with a stock bumper, there is a 1/4 inch difference higher in the front.
Which is especially concerning if you tow a lot, because with my 2 door, I had MAJOR backwards rake when towing with the TF leveling kit and 18/57 springs
I know Rancho said they take custom front bumpers into consideration, so if you don't tow this kit is perfect

Ok cool, I might end up doing that then. Just to clarify, the 4dr and 2dr coils are the same?

If I were to replace the .75" space with a 1.75" spacer, what else if anything would/should I fix on the rear end?
I'm assuming some new links for a start, but not sure if anything else.
