thanks guys.
you know, i may have unrealistic expectations but i have few concerns already... the ride is pretty squirrely, almost mushy. the spacers are made out of a suprisingly soft rubber and i don't know how much that has to do with it... but i can feel the front axle being pulled to the side when i accelerate hard and on the rear spacers if i run my finger around the back of the spacer I can feel where the spring is sliding backward causing the spacer to bulge around the lower edge. RedNeckJeep had a recent post where the top of the spring had slid/mashed through/over the retaining lip on the spacer and the spring was kicked out to the rear. I just read it last night but decided to just do it while realizing there can be times two people have entirely different experiences with the same product... yet still ready to deal with whatever may come.
Also FYI, the "billet aluminum" bumpstop extensions are rubber too.
A buddy of mine recommended dual SS to resolve the squirliness (if thats really a word) maybe I should take it in for an alignment first...

the alignment shound not be a problem as far as toe in and out the only thing that would change would be the steering wheel center, and the caster which would create a squilelly feeling
only fixes for those are control arms and adjustable trac bar

Well I straightened the wheel. Tried that just once, a quick jot around the block to check for vibration etc, taking a slow curve @ 25mph, ESP kicked in and bout put me in the ditch
came right back and straightened the wheel and took it back out & got it up to 60mph. it's all good but the squirliness. guess i need to be saving for some arms & bars... oh darn, something else cool for the Heep
