Going with that lift is a good way to lose that friend.

Good way to save your friend a lot of money when you install it, also a good way for your friend to spend a lot of money replacing upper control arms, struts etc in the very near future. In other words dont even think of going that route. If he wants a lift, do it right the first time and be done with it, that way you will still have a friend in the future!

What they are saying jbjeeper is that lift is no good. It breaks suspension parts.

The best route is to replace the coil springs to get the lift you want. Rustys is a all around great lift kit.

If you do not want to spend that kind of money, the Daystar spacer lift is a good spacer lift that will not hurt the suspension parts like the Rocky Road Over the Top lift does. :)

I thought that the OTT spacer problems were laid to rest by using the Tera Flex 4" extended front bump stops with it. :shock:

well yes if they use the bumpstop then it would or should be alright

I have a set (OTT) that came with my used ARB, I been using them for door stops, Never tried to sell them do to not feeling right about taking someones money for something that didnt work well. Did start to cut one up over the weekend for a special project on mine though :wink:
