Its all your fault....that Im upping the ante on the KJ :ROTFL:

I bought Daystar Spacers....but with 100k on OEM suspension.....I decided to replace it all.

so I bought these for the rear first:

and these will be used with Rustys Rear Coils and an extra OEM upper isolator.

Then got these for the front. Have 2k miles on them:

will be buying new strut mounts so I can have the shocks, coils, and mount all put together prior to installation of lift parts

Then found these from a local buddy. Got a set of 5:

Scored a set of these NIB:

All to make this thing look better:

I installed the Daystar spacer lift last year and it looks great and I fit bigger tires but the ride is not very good. I have 122k and the coils and shocks are in bad shape. I just received four OME coils and Bilstein shocks at my front door this week. :D Will be installing them after the holidays. I just learned on here that I need to use the stock top plates and not the daystar ones that are on there now.

this should help the ride dramatically over 100K mile OEM stuff.

Im looking for nused 245/75/16 AT's right now so it will be a one stop upgrade.

Dont forget you'll need the isolators if you want to preassemble them before you take out your old suspension.

I got front lowers already. the new mounts come with new front uppers. so that should all be good

well let me say I have headaches from reading so much on here :SOMBRERO:

took the KYB's, OME springs, new top mounts, etc to the shop for install. He said their machine wouldnt compress the coils so he ordered a new machine :ROTFL:

once they come back I hope to get it lifted ASAP.

debating on swapping the soft 8's onto the 245/70/16's or wait for finding a nused set of 245/75/16. I dont care for the stance of tucked in tires with OEM wheels when lifted so we will see.


Im almost burnt out on research for this dang thing and want to get some action!

This is the goal: only with my 16's and not these 15's

front coils are assembled and waiting.
front tow hooks were installed.

waiting on rear coil spring iso's and bump stops to arrive. then get tires M&B on soft 8's...the FINAFREEKINLY install!

just for s&g I measured the KJ today. center of wheel to bottom of flare.

Front - 18 1/2"

Rear - 18 7/8"

sadly that is not ours :ROTFL:

but it is the look I am shooting for.

I got 3 of my four tires Friday. getting the fourth this week then M&B all 5 of them. Then need some buds to lift the KJ with me
