Anyone w/ daystar 1.5 front only?

I'm having no luck searching for info on the leveling kit here...

Wondering how it looks, I've read about the front daystars coming out way higher than anticipated.

you could probably get away with just a clevis in the front if all you want to do is level it out.

3/8" seriously make that big of a difference?

could do a clevis and a top plate, Rustys will give you 1/2 inch, Rocky Roads a little thicker so will give you more than 1/2 inch and they are drilled correctly! That would give you about an inch right there. An inch believe it or not is very noticeable :wink:

I've ran the 2" / 1.5" for a year, they give you this:

Seems weird but that's the way IFS works. For every 1" you add to the strut ( front shock /coil combo) you get 2" of lift.

Here's how they work / install / what I think of them on a CRD:

An inch is more of what I was thinking...I'm afraid if I went w/ the 1.5 leveling, front only it would throw the front too high. I'll look into those plates.

Tony, you did both the front & back & it looks good...so when I see this, I think the front only would be too high. I'm going to check out that link. Thanks.

start with a clevis (they are dang near free from the hardware store) and add the plates later if needed. How much do you really want?

A lift that's to high? blasphemy!

J/K

You can do a 3/8 clevis lift for $0, you do not need to fit conduit nuts.

Check out our LIFT FAQ on top of this section.

lol, not a lift that's too high...I don't want the front being higher than the back, as if I have mad hydraulics

I just wanted to even things up for the time being...the clevis is probably the way to go for now. Thx for the replys!
