Thanks for your comments NVSteve,
What is it about the rear spacers, you don't like? I have noticed a few members with them including goblue90. And to follow your advice, I noticed you have OME. Was this a lift? How do you like them? I read about some possible issues with alignment, with the OME. I will be disputing the freight charge, for the exact reason you mentioned, I did not get what was advertised, if I get push back, I will offer to split the freight, thanks for the idea.
I've just never liked spacers, period. They are a cheap solution to a problem that warrants not using them, such as getting an extended spring, longer shock, etc. Just my opinion, of course. But, all one needs to do is Google "coil spring spacers bad or good" to get a wealth of information as to the true pros/cons of using them.
I originally replaced all my springs and shocks with the OME kit, which provided a bit more (needed) clearance in the wheelwells, along with an extra inch of ground clearance. I think the OME springs are great. If the road I'm on doesn't require 4-Lo, I usually drive fairly fast, as a few people here can attest to. The springs really were night and day compared to the OEM springs that would bottom out every 2 seconds off road. I haven't had any alignment issues so far, but I know others have.
