or if its too expensive i may just keep the stock height and just get new struts, like ranchos all around from boulderbars.com |

Bumpstops ....good cheap insurance just my 2 cents also you can get Ranchos from a local parts store if you so choose save on shipping. If you are lifting it you will need a different parts number in the rear of course, front stays the same number |

alright sounds good, i was looking at boulderbars.com and was wondering if getting rancho's all around and getting the daystar kit would work?? their selling the whole daystar kit for $155 instead of 305, sounds good to me. |

their selling the whole daystar kit for $155 instead of 305, sounds good to me. not to start a whole lot of stuff, but I see you have an 02 so your springs and shocks are already gone basically, getting a Daystar lift will only do one thing and that is finish off the springs to where they will be sitting coil on coil. Since you have an older model do yourself a favor and get new springs /shocks all the way around and be done. |

Depending on your miles, you might be able to re-use the rear springs and go with the rockfather I. The rear springs do not wear as fast as the fronts in my limited experience. I added rancho fronts to a rockfather I & I am very happy with the ride & handling afterwards. If you need springs all-around & want to go RRO, get the Rockfather II. The worst part of the Rockfather is dealing with RRO. They suck, pure & simple. I bought mine NIB from another member. If I would not have found my rockfather 1 for 50% of new I would have gone with a Frankenlift. |
