3.5" lift, can't comment on the ride yet because my wife is at work and has the kids car seats in the Escort. BUT, I can say that from pushing down on the fender a few times, it feels firm, but most likely tolerable. It takes a little less pressure to push it down than, say, a 90's fullsize chevy truck

Got my CB all installed and hooked up with PA. Now just have to get the SWR tuned before really using it.

Replaced my cps with help from xjwheeler, I definitely recommend pulling the front of the front driveshaft loose, it's right in the way.

Rented a steam vac and cleaned what some people refer to as a dead hooker out of the 95 I picked up awhile back to fix up and sell to a buddy of mine.

I like it. It rides like a truck now, not like a car anymore... which honestly I think is why people complain about these springs so much. I think that they are used to the car-like ride and putting truck springs in it stiffens it up. I even took it down an old railroad bed (tracks and ties are removed, VERY rough) and I liked the way it handled and took the bumps. got up to almost 30, front stayed smooth and the rear started bottoming out so i slowed down...
