If that pesky Job thing was not there for me today I would have been glad to help. Sorry.

So didn't figure anyone would be available on such short notice.
So replaced my stock front springs and 2 inch spacer lift along with the kit supplied shocks today. Also put the stock bump stops back in.
When I checked by lifting the tire till the bump stop hit there was still 4 inches of space between the tire and flair. Stock bump stop was only two inches shorter. New shocks have at least 4 inches more travel than the kit shocks.
Only thing is the new springs were supposed to lift 2.5 inches. Kit was 2 inches. The new springs actually lifted it almost 1.5 over the kit. Stock springs are 5years old so may have settled. Either that or these lift more than Rock Krawler says. Hope they settle just a bit, but it's not really noticeable from the street.

They will settle in. My 2.5" kit lifted 3" on install. It has come down to the 2.5 advertised.
