Since I dropped it, considering using the Firestone RideRite, anyone use them?

I tried it with the Hellwig kit and the biggest thing I found was there isn't enough suspension travel with the bolt-on kits that are designed for stock ride height. At most I had 2" of travel with the kit and it had the shortest internal bumpstops I could find. The stock kits would have 6" of travel but once you drop the back end you take away a lot of that travel capacity. The only proper remedy would have been to cut out the upper spring mounts and move them up to allow for proper travel.
