Default i went overboard.

As I previously mentioned, my procomp leafpacks looked like they were more than 2.5". well they ended up being 4.5". so, i had to put spring spacers in the front. i was shooting for 3" max, now I'm sitting at 4.5. I've already ordered an adjustable track bar from RC, i installed 1.25" tc drop brackets from RC, got a steering stabilizer (not installed yet), ordered longer u-bolts for the rear... Am I forgetting anything? I feel like I'm overlooking something.

instead of spending 1200 bucks you could have spent 450 and got the whole 4.5 lift KIT =)
