Compress the suspension to line up the track bar, if the axle is drooping.

Okay! Got thise lift in yesterday, alonge with a PA 1" body. I put the body Lift on last night, and worked on the Lift today. Since this is my first jeep, and first lift install, I opted to take my time. I got everything done in the Rear, and set it down on the ground. Still a lil nervous, i will probably go back and tighten up everything for the 5th time!!! Had a couple of questtions tho.

1. The rear shock adapters have washers. Do i put a washer on the bottom, and the top of the adapter, or do the washers go on top and bottom of where the adaptor holds the shock down? I did the 1st one and i thinkg its wrong

2. Also, I have no winch or bumper, but ordered 1" coil spacers for the front. Did not realize how much highth people have gotten up front opposed to the rear, Should i still install the spacers?
