Good luck getting a torque wrench in there...I just "bubba" tightened mine, it hasn't budged.

3.5" of lift.
is it a bad idea to space the a-arm at 3.5"?
or is it unnecessary?

Not a bad idea, or unneccsarry I suppose, just a waste of money at the height your at.

well its on the way so i guess i'll just put it in, cant hurt anything.
plus, it'll already be installed if i decide to add more lift later on.
guess i should have asked you guys before i spent the 100 bucks.
lesson learned.
