2.5" Daystar before and after measurements

[dwallone]

Finally got around to measuring the t4r after the daystar and the 265/70/17 BFG's

Measurements are from ground to fender, through the center of the rim.

Before Rear Approx 35.5"
After Rear Approx 37.5"

Before Front Approx 33.25"
After Front Approx 36.5"

Overall Lift Front: 3.25"
Overall Lift Rear: 2"

This leaves me with a rake of around 1" which I think looks perfect. Looks level most of the time actually, but at other times i can tell it has a rake to it.

As I have posted before the ride is pretty much the same. After 2k miles on the lift/tires I think the runner is overall much improved with this spacer lift, some downfalls of course but over all I am very happy with it.

So was this a 2.5" front lift only?

 

[dwallone]

No. It is the 2.5 / 1.5. Sorry for the confusion

 

[climb.on]

Cool. That makes sense. Thanks!

The before measurements are with factory tires, correct?

 

[dwallone]

Yes. Before is with factory tires. I can't find my measurements after lift and before tires but I'm sure that if someone knows the height increase due to bfg at 265/70/17 then we can deduct the lift due to only the daystar!

 

[J.A.]

I think assuming an approx 0.5" for the tire change is fair.

Are you using old style (2 part) or new style (1part) DS kit? If old style, did you remove the factory isolater bushing as per the instructions?

 

[dwallone]

New style. Top out only.

 

[J.A.]

Interesting, did you measure the spacer size itself?
