I went with the RC lift because i like the idea that the "spacers" actually bolt into the vehicle and there's no chance of them coming loose. I was also worried about squeaking with the poly lifts.

I went with daystar because I got a smoking deal. So far I have 6500 miles on it and nothing has came loose or started squeaking and it rides great.

Do you notice any preloading of the front spring? also any regrets?

from the ground to the fender in the center of the rim is 35-1/4 front and 36" in the rear. And this is with a 265-70/17 street tire on a 9in wide rim.
