BDS lift comes without front struts, but their spring ratings are that of OME... And it's $475 online, but cheaper if you get it from a local dealer (you can find them on BDS's site). Comes with all 4 coils, rear BDS shocks, and a front strut bracket thing. Then you can either use stock struts, which I have no choice but to do cause of OFTS... Or, the recommended route, get some Rancho front struts. |

Welcome don't forget to get those Dust boots though because the shocks dont come with them! At least mine didn't!

Dust boots look cool, but that's about it haha. There's a lot of options when it comes to shocks... Rancho, OME, BDS, Rough Country, Skyjacker, but some are better than others... |

Agreed on everything you said, but no one said I was about "performance" for a 2WD mines all about the looks! No joke I'm actually trying to turn it into a Show Liberty

No joke I'm actually trying to turn it into a Show Liberty Haha well the guy I bought my BDS lift through gave me some free boots. I like the look of them, it's a cheap "mod" to make the Liberty look as cool as possible. So I'm all for em. |

I am putting 02 springs on my jeep do I have to put on new shocks on right away as long as I dont do any flexing of the kjs guns. IF i can run it for a few weeks and throw new ones on later thats what i want to do. the 02 springs are a budget boost for my budget boost till I buy a franky. |

I mean instead of buying the Daystar, and then having to buy struts and shocks, just get a cheap suspension lift if you will eventually get a Franky. Like Rusty's or Rough Country. It will prob end up being the same amount. |

did you buy 02 springs? trying to determine what you are doing and why? If they are used then they may already be sagged anyways but new ones , you could of bought OMEs for about the same price

I have the daystar lift and have had it for two years. I am just putting in 02 springs to see if I get a little more lift with pre-lowered springs clevis lift (front) and extra Iso (rear) I just wanted to know if I can get away with stock shocks for a little while till I buy and install new ones |

Well I would just get some new shocks, and rock that for a while. You can get a pair of either Ranchos or BDS for maybe $100 shipped. If the Daystar is treating you fine, no need to mess with it. |

If the 02 springs are used not sure they would really do you much good but you maybe able to get some lift out of them. Being 7 years old and all but its worth a try since you have them
