This is the budget boost, model # KT09117BK. I got a total of almost 2 inches of lift on the front .. now I have about a half inch of rake instead of 2+.

Looks good. I havent really liked the look of 4th Gen runners without the running boards but yours looks good. Keep up the good work.
 
Thanks all.

Falls, yes, the actual spacer was 1" of material and Daystar claims it will still give 1" of lift because it will compress since its not metal. Unless this takes some time then this doesn't really seem to be the case.

CJ, I cannot tell any difference in the way it rides.
 
where did you buy your Daystar kit? also, i can only seem to find the red ones...are yours black? i'd prefer black for sure.

Do you have XREAS?

Has the spacers settled or no? Or have you noticed your front end going lower?
 
Rolltide, I do have some before and after measurements. I will need to find where I put them though.

triguy, the shop where I got the kit installed ordered it directly from daystar, much like getting it from daystar.com or even 4wheelparts. Yes, they are black.

Tego, I do not have XREAS and they have not settled any since they were installed.

omega, I don't have any pictures of the 12v outlet but all I did was buy a 12v outlet from autozone that had the red and black wires coming out of it. Then I just spliced into the existing 12v outlet by popping open the center console cover. My actual center console box had a little hole in it already so I didn't need to create one for the wires to go through. These threads helped with my install (Thanks ALLEGRO). Let me know if you have any other questions ..

How hard was the install?

Install of the lift? I had someone do it for me so it was pretty simple .. No, if you have the right tools and a little idea of what you are doing I think it is easy. Only took him about 2 hours with a few interruptions.
 
Anyone else care to post before and after pictures in this thread? I know there is a dedicated post your T4R thread, but I am really interested in some more pics here. Also, if anyone could share your measurements I would greatly appreciate it.
 
AJC- Did you put the leveling kit on yourself? I have an 08 urban runner in Denver and Id also like to add the same kit. Any recommendations?
