    the toll violation is definitely rough :)
    what is the most efficient way to correct the problem regarding spacers?

    I think it is the toll violation that is the culprit here, not 100% though.

    Like Flowin said, unfortunately the correct answer isn't the one you want to hear. They charged you $330 + $60 in shipping for spacers that cost $160 directly from ToyTec, which it nuts to begin with. But as far as the ride, it will get no better with spacers on there. You can either deal with the rough ride, or upgrade to a set of 5100's with coils or an OME setup like I have in the front.

    No doubt that they took me for a ride, a rough one mind you!
    And yes the toll didn't help! :)
    How much would be the 5100, can you send me a link? I just want the ride to be smooth again!

    I gathered that and this is what you get for being a noobish! However looks like you and 4mytaco know what I need, honestly I don't really care about that rough of a ride at times but I have a my first child coming in two month and I don't want to cause him brain injury on the ride back to the house!!

    I personally haven't dealt with HeadStrong but I have heard great things. I would give them a call and tell them your situation, they should be able to steer you in the right direction. I am not sure what you have done to the rear, the kit @Burghlar posted will lift the rear also. You do not need a diff drop.

    I guess at this point, I need to find a VA, MD, or DC place that does a good job and won't rip me off! Once I find a good shop then I can get their input on this since I really need to get this ride smoother!

    Thanks Guys.

    I have the 885x coils and almost 3" lift...if the rear is blocks you can keep those in that's not the reason for the rough ride if you wish

    Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet...what psi are you running in your tires? To high will make the ride miserable! That would be the first thing I would check! Won't help with the tracking issues but will definitely soften the ride
