Default Track bar question

Ok, so I installed a procomp stage 2 lift, and after all the control arms were put on, and I was about to install the track bar, when I realized I am missing the 2 shims/bushings that go on each side, the end that connects to the frame by the pitman arm. My question is, I installed the stock track bar for now, it seems to drive good, no problems, everything seems tight in the steering, I wont be offroading anytime soon. Am I ok driving like this for now? its a 4 inch lift, not sure if procomp lifts are higher or lower then they advertise. One other question, when I lift the jeep on the lift, and the axles are off the ground, is it normal that the springs want to fall out? Any help you's can give would be great.

You should be fine.

Your front axle will probably be off center to the driver side a little and you may experience a little bump steer.

At full droop the springs will want to come out. It is because the manufacturer adds longer shocks to the kit to achieve maximum articulation. If it bothers you just get some limiting straps.
