    My kit came with the front spacer. But the back still leans slightly.

    Not even with the weight added to the front. It only took me one time going over a bump to make me take it easy over them

    Haha we don't have too many of those up here in AK but there are a a few! Can you expect 3" of lift with the 886s?

    I'd remove the sway bar too while you are under there. If not you may have some "Over Speed Bump Goes Clank"

    This is a joke right? I'm genuinely interested if there is any truth to that or if you are just being facetious. I'm guessing the latter?:notsure:

    Over speed bump goes clank is due to hitting the nitrocharger internal stop, not due to the swaybar.

    I get this, but was wondering if perhaps there was some correlation to less clank without a sway bar.

    Not that I'm aware of. Some people need to relocated the swaybar because it's hitting but that is a different goes clank :D
