Default Teraflex 2.5 lift

Recently installed my teraflex 2.5 lift kit. I love the way it turned out. I drove it and it felt better than stock! The only problem is, I am worried I did the install wrong. Is there anyway I could have driven around for at least an hour and not run into any problems if I did the install wrong? Is there any way I could have a shop look over my lift or would they have to install it? Also should I get a tire balance and alignment? I know this is a long post, but I just want to make sure I did everything right so I don't run into any major problems later. Any advice?

Worrier by nature? If you followed the instructions and everything felt good on the drive, you will be fine. I rechecked the torque specs after a few drives after installing my TF lift just to be safe. You won't need to get your tires balanced, you didn't do anything with them did you? There are write-ups on how to do an alignment yourself, might be something to check out.

Haha I am a worrier. Have you gotten the death wobble? Is it a big enough lift to worry about that too?

Thats exactly how I felt, but there is really not much you can mess up. I mean, if everything fits in right when you're done and you followed directions I don't think anything will go wrong. I feel the same way though. I finished the lift and still feel like I messed up.
