So after meeting JoFotoz yesterday I had major lift envy. I read all the posts, got an email from Triathlete and figured, what the heck. So here is what I did. It seems to drive fine, and was too easy so, for you smart folks, what did I screw up?
1 can penetrating oil $2
1 set of alluminum cast rear coil spring boosters $7.99

I jacked up the rear and put 1 booster in the top and bottom of each spring. Took it off the jacks, drove it up and down the driveway: 1.25" higher from tire to wheel well.

I jacked up the front, soaked bar adjustment bolts in oil, put 5 full turns on each. Drove it around the block, looked at it and put on 3 more turns: 2" higher at the skid plate.

Now the stance is more level looking, I have tons more clearance for the new tires coming this month and seated in it even feels better. Just need to get it out on the freeway now for the final test. Naturally the new tires will come with an alignment and I am thinking no bigger thae a 31ish" tire.

So again, what did I screw up?

Here is the before:



After:
