daystar 2.5 lift vs stock 99 SR5 "Highlander"

[dragonboy7111]

Hi, I'm new here and was wondering if anyone have some pics comparison between a stock 99 SR5 "highlander" vs ones with a 2.5 daystar lift kit. I've searched everywhere but didn't see any. Is there much difference? Is it even worth it to get the lift? It's just basically for looks, very minimal off-roading. I like the keep the same ride comfort. Please advise.

That didn't help him at all.:whipping2 hehe


actually find somebody with the spacer lift and get a ground to fender or center of hub to fender measurement and compare. I have the OEM shocks and taller coils and I have just over 36" front and rear ground to fender.

martini - yeah, i saw that comparison on J.A's website, but that's not what I'm looking for. I want to see the different on a 99 and see if it's even worth it to get the daystar lift. thanks though.

RonMAIDEN - What kind of taller coils do you have? Can you send me some pics of your rid? I think I saw some pics of your 4R on here somewhere before but don't know exactly where to look for it. I know it was a 99' green SR5 "Highlander" with a nice stance.

This is a recent pic

And one from when I replaced the coils and shocks with new parts back in '06.

And one more

Looks awesome!!! What type of coils did you use? Can you give me an idea of parts used and the cost to do a lift like yours?

 

[RonMAIDEN]

The coils are just the OEM '99 taller coils and I got them back in '05 when the cost for shock and coils was under $400 but prices have gone up but Sonoran Steel sells the "best the factory had to offer" suspension for $570.

Here's a link to their 3rd gen lifts.

Isn't those coils came stock on your 4R? if so, I already have those on my 4R. I have the exact same 4R as you except in black and 5sp, but yours looks higher.
I'm not looking to spend too much on a little lift.
