Good work. I had to have a shop install the same setup last weekend. Spared my marriage the grief. Not sure my wife could bare to be without me for 10 hours. I netted over 3 in the front and about 2 in the back. Perfectly level now.

Oh and, I agree with you. The ride does seem better, although the difference is barely noticeable. Maybe placebo.
I experienced some steering wheel shake when stopping at high speeds. But that seems to have gone away. I'm not sure the cause?

I have a 2013 and everyone told me I needed exhaust extensions. I was so tired I forgot to put them on. Anyone explain why I need them? Only thing I can think of is that Chrysler made a funny loop in the exhaust and because of this it may rub when I lift?? I should put them on.

Yeah you should put them on. The spacers prevent contact between the front driveshaft and the exhaust cross pipe during suspension down travel. With a 2.5 at full extension of both front wheels the lift will cause the boot to make contact. However this probably would likely rarely happen I'm thinking but either way I would put them on anyway.

Thoughts on the possible interference of the tranny skid or sump pan with this set up?
I've done some research and it appears that one of these two things could eventually tear the drive shaft boot. The shop removed my tranny skid bar. It was in my bag of parts.
I'm looking into the rockhard skid plate but if it's the sump pan that's doing the damage it may not be necessary?

I'm going to loosen my Control arm and track bar bolts this next week and shake my jeep back into submission and line up the axle center. The damn sway bar link is at an extreme angle. Also, look at the pic attached. It looks as if my coils aren't sitting properly and I'm losing height on my lift.
