Talking 1/2 Daystar Installed 1 5/8" lift

I just removed both strut assemblies for adding the Daystar top only spacer. My Ford dealer said they would compress the springs tomorrow for me so I can add the longer bolts. It was easier than I expected. From the time I started jacking the truck up to when I lifted the second strut assembly out was exactly 1 hour. If anybody has any ?'s feel free to ask, because I know I was wondering about a few things before I decided to do this lift.
Just got her back together and back from a test drive. It looks like I got a lift of about 1 5/8", just what I wanted.

I think I'm gonna tackle this, but I'd feel a whole lot better going over things on the phone for 3 minutes if you have the time. Any chance I could call you when its convenient?

helped a friend install this kit last friday. He went to the alignment shop today. Only needed a slight toe-in adj. The kit is actually really easy to install. We used all basic hand tools except for a set of spring compressors and a ball joint removal tool.
