Ruby is running tip top, I still have the knocking tapping sound at cold start up, I am thinking this sound is lifters pumping up.

Anyway, it looks like I am getting some spring perches for a nice and quick 2 inch lift.

With your oil, shouldn't take long. But oil may not make up for low oil PSI. Might want to do mechanical PSI test if you have not done that, or have not fitted a gauge.

Those sound like spring spacers. They actually install under the bottom spring perches. It is a quick lift. You're downtravel limiting factor will end up being your swaybars or shocks. But they're a good start to run larger tires.
