Well folks here is my take on it.

#1.> Bought it for 360, 45 for shipping, 450 for install, 90 for alignment. Now this is all the first time around, it was good, but didnt fell quite right, something fishy.

#2.> Pulls to the left, front has started to bounce a bit, but kind of neat :) :o :shock: :x :P :oops: :wink: i am like goofy things like that


#3. > took the libby in for 60K service, re-aligned, cost about a 1000.00 for the entire service and alignment, and it still pulls to the left

#4.> Back to the dealer re-aligned a bit better but still pulls to the left.

#5.> now the front is bouncing like a basketball, i mean a small bump and i feel like i am on a moon bounce.

#6.> back to the dealer, prognosis, the shocks in the front struts are gone. Need to get new ones, however the dealer said its ok they dont seem to be that bad, since they arent leaking, however the OEM struts arent sturdy enough for the lift kit and bigger wheels they are just oo spongy.

#7.> ordered some Rancho Heavy duty shocks for the front at 84 a pop, and should be here next week....

untill than the saga continues.

if this keeps up, i may just order the sky jacker platinum coilover kit.

I am interested to know if you also recieved the rear spacers? I had to call and ask RC about the bouncing problem,, they offered to send the spacers to me for free(they should have been included with the kit. Now that I have installed the rear spacers(about 2.5 inches) and the firestone air bags (helper spring) on the rear, the ride is much better, with less bounce. I think I'll check the front . I had this lift installed for $125 at the dealer. Plus $60 for alignment. The only time my jeep pulls to the left is when I drive by a gas station :shock:

Before installing the rear spacers and air bags, the libby would rock front to back like a boat. Let us know how the Rancho shocks work out
