more uptravel isn't going to get you any farther, so if you don't plan on installing drop brackets and adding taller springs to your spacers you might as well just drive it like it is until your springs start to sag, which they will soon enough if you do enough rough driving!  enjoy!

I'm not aware of anyone who is currently making or offering a set of springs for these things that will provide an honestl 2 or 2 1/2 inches of lift anyway.  So even if I go with longer springs, I'd still end up having to slide in a 1/2 inch or inch shim to push it to where it sits now.  If I went with longer springs and the smaller shim, I would probably pull off the sway bar and allow the arms to compress and flex easier.   Then again, if worms owned machineguns... those damned birds wouldn't screw with them so much either.  It's probably just as good they don't.

....   I might even opt for an OME spring set. 

That, you will not regret.
