Ya, another lift question
i recently installed the RC 2.5" coils with 1" front tera flex pucks, stock rubi shocks. my question is i have no problems, the steering wheel is centered -no drifting at different speeds 40-45-50------75 no bump steer 
the reason I'm asking is i have read on several occasions the problems/issues that come from lifts and don't get me wrong this is a good thing due to the fact that I'm trying to do my lift on recycled parts from all you members that are upgrading to bigger and better lifts speaking of which I'm looking for shocks and extended brake lines
one more quick question if i got shocks for a 4" lift what are the ramifications from that or is it OK to do?

If you got no problems then great, you are rare (but not unheard of). As for the shocks your biggest issue will be to much droop and possibly breaking a break line or abs line. That would be at the extreme end though ( I will admit, I am one of the guys that did that, busted a brake line). as long as you are careful though you should be fine.

For the shocks just make sure that under full compression that you wont be bottoming out the shock prior to the suspension hitting your bumpstop. Had that issue on my XJ and blew out a pair of shocks REALLY fast.
