Is that through Dave Breggin?

How does it address the upper ball joint angle issue? Charles told me he put his upper control arms in a press to bend them at the proper angle, at least when he first did the lift. I hope it (the lift kit) is more than just the spring tower spacers. I'm curious about the materials used in that kit, since I know the Rubberduck kit spacers and the balljoint angle wedges are made from a very high tensile material to prevent mushrooming.

Yes. The kit is through Dave B. I think the spacers are made from steel, and the springs are from Hypercoil. There are no ball joint spacers, I believe Travis' product has that patented. From what I remember Charlie saying he did not feel that the ball joint shims were paramount. Personally, I'd rather have the shims than not, but with Charlie having taken his truck to hell and back I'll trust his judgement. All and all my truck aligned to a fraction of the stock angles, so far the tires have not shown any odd wear.
