Can i Use a daystar 2.5" lift with daystars top strut mount plate with OME 927 coils? should I use the energy isolator from JBA too or stick with the Mopar?

Dont think you can get all that put together. Tough enough trying to compress the OME 927 spring with out trying to stick a 2.5 inch puck in there with it as well.

Just buy a Frankenlift, it sits high and it works.

u might be able to use Rusty's .75 spacer. they are only like $20 and is like what the Franky has. not sure it is as big but it would add some height. i plan to do this with my Rusty's springs in the near future.Rusty's .75" polly spacer where can u get the Daystar strut plate? ive looked everywhere for them and i can only find it in a kit w/ spring spacers

No, it won't work.... You could use the Daystar 1.5"( 3/4" spacer ) with the Daystar strut plate which is like a Frankie set up. Or, to save money, you could just use the coils and do a 3/8" - 1/2" clevis.

x2. The frankenlift is the tallest lift. You can buy the front separately (look in the "for sale" section). For the rear get rusty's coils, or daystar spacers.

I emailed boulderbars while back and you can get the daystar strut plates from them. They are around $20-25 price range.

So what about having the Daystar spacers cut down? I'd be willing to do that if I could fit some OME springs up front. I was thinking of knocking an inch (more or less) off the spacers I have for the 2 1/2" lift. Of course I'll need to work some more OT to be able to afford the springs but I am thinking the ride would improve. Or I could just leave it the way it is and not worry...

Sounds totally feezable and add the Daystar strut plates. Can't say that it will improve the ride in any way though, but it will add height.

why would u get a daystar spacer and cut it? u can get on from Rusty's and it is way cheaper. not trying to sell anything for him but i would save money. just my 2 cents.

Add upper rear spring Isolators.

how many would i need to make that level? my rear is already lower than my front with a 3 ring clevis. thats what i was going to do to fix it.

shawn_vancouver · **Posted:** Tue Feb 12, 2008 1:32 am

in the rear i have the procomp 3" coil with a 1" spacer... lots of flex, good ride height with load and trailer. I am noy using locknuts in the front (will not) as a clevei lift, cutting down the daystars an 1"or so could be favourable. has anyone measured or compared thr Frankenlift spacer to a rusty's and a daystar? give me specs please.....

wildrussian · **Posted:** Tue Feb 12, 2008 8:07 am

Even if you cut an inch of the daystar spacers you will still be sitting high and will get UBJ contact unless you get Al Arms.

shawn_vancouver · **Posted:** Tue Feb 12, 2008 9:22 pm

i have Al's arms......
