Kit fits well and seems to function properly. Instructions have a few errors. Instructions call for all the rivets to be removed in lower crossmember brace, only need to remove the rear rivet. Instructions also call for 7/16" holes to be drilled but send 3/8" bolts. Followed up with TCI and they said they had changed bolt size but not instructions and to only drill 3/8" holes. Good thing I waited on the kit before drilling out the holes where rivets were removed. Other than that, I am satisfied with the product.

Are the coil over shocks adjustable? You mention in response to a previous question that the recommended installed height is 12.3-13" which suggests they are adjustable but want to be sure of this issue before purchasing.
