They are available from 1.5" to 2.5" I ordered mine off eBay for $60. No tracking problems at all, and so did ride quality.

absolutely no issues. drives like stock, can let go of the wheel at 70mph and it tracks perfect just as it did with stock shackles. no down sides of any kind i've found in almost 10k miles.

cost me around $100 shipped off ebay. they make them in .5" lift to 2.5" list and every combo in between.

you should turn those sway bar bolts around so the heads face the springs. it mentioned that in the instructions i had.
