I meant the bump stop spacers. I can get to the area on the rear axle to put them on. The front instructions say:

A. Drill a 3/8 inch hole in the center of the axle bump
stop pad.
B. Place bump stop spacer inside springs.

If I have to put them inside the spring I guess I have to wait. They are coming tomorrow supposedly...

The rear bump stop spacer isn't in the spring. It's mounted outboard of the spring.

I've had mine for a few months and I'm very happy with it. Just added a few more goodies last night!

Also, are installation of shocks universal just fit them on the damn jeep or a specific front & back. Sorry for all the questions I have no mechanical skill.

I think its ok. I did the rear one weekend and the front the next weekend. I drove it all week with just the rear lifted. The shocks are specific for front and back. They mount differently so you can't get it wrong.

AEV 2.5 with correction brackets and 35's works perfect IMHO...

Here is a few pic's of mine with the brackets and 35 inch Toyo's on it. I liked the stock wheels so kept them and installed SpiderTrax spacers. Handles very well and performs great off-road. The bumpers are the Warn Elite series so that added extra weight. Since those photo's were taken I have added Rubi Rails and Ace rock sliders and the Warn tire carrier so I could carry the proper spare with me...... Guess I need some updated photo's one of these days.
