| Post subject: | Daystar lift |
Who here is using the Daystar lift and how did it work out? Was it fairly easy to install and how did it change the ride quality? Before everyone beats me up, I know this is not a true lift or a good long term solution. Just something to get me by for a little while, so I can save up for a real lift. Say a year if I decide to go with the 4" adjust a strut by JBA. For 150 why not. I could do that on the first. Thanks in advance for the help |

But you'll also want to replace your shocks need longer ones in the rear so while it seems cheap you are within 160 bucks of buying a full spring OME lift To me its a waste of time and money Do it right one time and be done |

I was going to do a spacer lift at one time. Then, I read everything I could find here. The extra cost meant I went a couple years longer than I wanted to before lifting but I'm happy. Went with OME springs, bilstein shocks, a clevis lift, extra rear isolators, and teraflex and hockey puck bumpstops. Next up are JBA UCA's as my upper BJ's are getting loose anyway - it's possible to minimize ball joint/spring contact if you "clock" your springs. I had one side making contact so I took it apart and rotated the spring so the ball joint lands in a space between the coils. I'd save your money and do it right the first time. |

Yeah I have another thread going where Tom recomended pretty much the same settup you just listed and has been answering my never ending series of questions. I'm just going to wait till I can do it right. |

So are you guys saying with the Daystar spacer lift you still need to replace rear shocks? |

A friend of mine bought a liberty and replace springs with stock. Then he bought a daystar. Saw it in the woods today and it has already sagged down to almost stock height. It's been almost a year ago I put ome in my crd and I have sagged about 1/4 to 3/8 inch. Do it right the first time and you won't have to do it later. Just my
