Finally got it out for a test drive!
It does have vibration just off idle emanating from the UCF Lo-Pro mount which by its design is understandable as it more or less boils down to 2 plates of steel with a 3/16 rubber pad sandwiched between. It does have the bushings off to the side to handle the torque. At cruise its not noticeable. The trade off might be worth it for the clearance.
The "throaty" MBRP exhaust sounds great. Mainly just at low RPMS do you hear it. Nice size muffler for the crowded underside rear of LJ.
Re-set the toe-in and re-centered the steering wheel.
Rides much better than it did on the stock (200K) springs that were in it. Not harsh at all. (But I'm used to a 3/4 ton truck)
Anti-Rock set on medium hole definitely has more body roll.
Stock driveshafts. Slightly tilted my rear pinion upward with no perceptible vibration.
No interference with the gearshift in the stock location.
It's sitting 5 3/4" higher than when I started.
