Out of the 50+ kits we've sold, most can't tell a difference from stock. Some notice a slightly stiffer ride, but if anything it's a more "secure" feeling I'd call it.

It rides very close to stock, so close you probably won't notice.

Are the shocks not linear in their movement - in other words as the shock moves toward the very top or the very bottom does the shock become stiffer? Without a reservoir I guess this might be why some people complain about the ride being more harsh. With my 2.5" Daystars I can honestly say I noted no difference in ride quality.
That's what I'm trying to establish. If the Cornfed kit, with it's 1" additional lift, is causing more stiffness than the Daystar, I'd probably lean towards Daystar (or a comparable custom Cornfed setup). I realize a lift is going to degrade the handling/ride quality somewhat, but I'd like to try for a happy medium.

Thanks for your opinions so far...

Thumbs up
i'm going to go w/ the 3/2 cornfed lift - did you have to do anything special to work around the x-reas system during the install? my biggest concern is accidentally messing up the x-reas. thanks for the great thread...

I have the Cornfed 3/2 and the I have only noticed one difference in ride quality/handling. When I drive over a speed bump, the rear end is a lot more firm. But in terms of turning, acceleration, deceleration dive, stiffness, etc...I haven't noticed any difference from stock.

PS - I have XREAS and the tech didn't mention anything about having to mess with the system when he installed the spacers.

Just be carefull when you do the front struts. Best of all do not remove them from the wheel well, just unmount and do the install on the place.

Everything is in blold print in the instructions that is important. You just don't want to disconnect any vacuum lines and you'll be fine.
