that rocking slop you have is going to be an issue, the leverage on the brackets you installed will rock it back and forth whenever your suspension hits max extension casing the holes to oval, the copper pipe you used as a spacer is to soft and will crush over time making the rocking in the bracket even worse, you would be better off copying the expensive lift by cutting your own brackets using 3/16th steel plate
Thanks, I ran the lift off road a few times and didn’t have an issue with the brackets moving. I removed this lift kit last week and there weren’t any signs of wear, but if I was going to reinstall this I’d use steel instead of the copper. Personally I don’t think it’s worth the cost savings and the extra work that’s needed to only add an inch of clearance. I will be installing the Perfex lift in the spring.
Nice job, Looking forward for a update!
I took it out on a trail ride yesterday and it didn’t shift or make noise.
I have the same lift. Going to try and install it this weekend. Just need to get washers and spacers
It didn’t take very long once I figured out what I needed.
I just realized you’re a 954 boy too.

What length were your spacers?
1.5” when I installed those on the rear. Now I have the 1.5” in the front and 2” in the rear.
Can you tell us the width of the spacers you made?
5/8” or 16mm
