Ok got most of the ideas down for my 2012 Homemade Renegade. Does anyone have any information or use this Lift kit that they can tell me what they think how it is and Max tires I can rrun with it.
Kit is Daystar 2" Comfort Ride Level Lift Kit .

Thanks
Jeff

Plan on keeping the KK for a while?
If so seriously look at doing a full spring lift, much better ride, better handling and overall performance
Daystar you have to replace the rear shocks , and should replace the fronts
so you're with in a couple of hundred bucks of doing it right and not have to worry about it for the next 75-100,000 miles.
Whereas with the Daystar 15-20,000 at most
read through and see how many have started with daystar only to switch soon after
Tire size 245-75-16's

You should listen to Tommudd, buy once cry once. With the cost of doing it twice, I'm very close to the cost of an adjust a strut lift. :2cents:

I do the same thing. That's what we're here for. And sometimes I have trouble finding stuff on here as well.
