I'm giving my daystar lift to a friend who has an 06 liberty since I went ome. We were wondering if he can fit the daystar lift along with the JBA strut plates? I've already tried to get him to buy springs but he is hurting for money and this is what he can afford.

We already did the clevis lift. He was going to get another rear upper isolator to make it level but we weren't sure if the strut plate would work with the JBA.

It would work in theory
But I wouldn't recommend doing it

Can I ask why? Is it just opinion or an actual reason not to?

Plus you're adding to an already failing setup. Like putting a band aid on the bottom of your foot due to the sole of your shoes having a hole in it.
Weak springs already, Daystar speeds up the sagging, then adding more spacers will just cause more issues . With new springs with higher rates it works great, not so much on used
