Nice.
You gotta love it when you can help out a buddy like that.
I haven't had time to wash mine either! Too busy playing in the snow. I just wish we would get some down here in the low lands.

How much stiffer does the ride get after the lift? I really want to get a 3" lift but I don't want a stiff ride. Thanks.

Exactly, it does not get stiffer, because you are using all the same springs and shocks. You are just placing spacers on the top of the springs, so your rig rides higher.
I am very happy with my NE lift.

How about handling? I know this has been discussed, but want to get your opinions. I am wondering about cornering, wind, and overall stability.
Thanks.

As far as handling goes, I feel that it "handles" the same, however you do need to keep in mind that it is an SUV and your cg is now raised, so don't go out and try to corner like Mario. 
I feel that it is still very stable. Yesterday coming home from the slopes there were some substantial cross winds, and I could definitly feel them hitting the rig, but nothing to worry about.
As I have said many times, I am very happy with the new stance, look, performance, clearance, handling... everything! Go do it! And splurge on some new rubber if you haven't already.
