Yep, they're on and working great. ;D I used TRW Camber Bolts to get the front back in order. They were $14.99 each :o but I don't trust the cheap bolts.

Here's some pics (Dial-up beware, they are big!)

Tips:
I used a "strut type" coil spring compressor on the front and didn't disconnect the CV's. The rear diff vent hose needs to be disconnected while installing the rear spacers or you might rip it. The rear took 15 minutes tops, the front took a couple hours. Can't see why anyone would try to make these, it's the best $90.00 I've spent so far.

Mine did not come with instructions, but there is a write up on some spacer installs in the tech section.  It was very helpful.
I must have had the wrong spring compressor.  I couldn't get it to work.  I had to dismantle the front end.  I agree though, best money spent (although the tires are a very close 2nd).

I got a solid 2" of lift. I left the factory rubber spacer in and it's about a 1/4" thick so I'm sure that helped. The coil spring compressor was rented at Autozone (you actually buy it and they return your money when you take it back, total cost of rental $0.00 when the tool is returned) and was the 2-piece type which goes on the outside of the spring. Here's a pic of the tool:

Just be careful these things can kill ya. No real instructions needed, it's all common sense stuff. If you can install shocks and struts you can install these spacers but if you decide to do it and need help just give me a shout and I'll guide you through it.

PS. The Camber Correction Bolts came from Advance Auto, ordered them at 8 AM and picked them up at 3 PM the same day.
