DAYSTAR rear spacers

[T4R_Finally]

Looking for DAYSTAR 1.5" rear spacers but am seeing confusing info on the web. The part number I thought I needed for the 5th gen is KT09127BK. But when I looked for it on several sites, including daystar's site, only the FJ is mentioned, not 4runner. Will these fit or not?

And I am not stuck on DAYSTAR, just thing 1.5" is where I want to be and the toyotecs are twice as much. So open to recommendations as well.

Not sure about the Daystar part numbers and all...but I think our rear springs are pretty much all the same general shape and size as the FJ rear springs. I am using Sway-A-Way FJ rear springs and they fit like a glove back there

Yeh saw those as well but can't remember if they give 1.5" or it was more. From a labor perspective, is it pretty much the same effort to swap the rear springs as to put a spacer on the existing ones?

Daystars rears on our trucks give around 1"-1.25" (per member reports from a few of the guys on here).

And the labor/work is the same. They are a good start for people new to lifts.

Here is what you need. And at only $40 not a big deal.

Definitely more than 1.5" lift on the SAW 1.5" springs, I think mine raised it a good 2" or so. Same exact effort to install spacers vs springs like [MENTION=97516]The[/MENTION]bwife said (you pretty much have to take out the spring and put the spacer on top of it, then stick that assembly back into place); but it's actually not all that difficult to do, so if you're not happy with the spacers it's not the end of the world to swap in springs down the road...

Yeh that's the same part number but when I saw on daystar's site that it doesn't mention 4runner, just FJ, I was concerned if it fits or not. I will also take another look at the saw springs. If the labor is the same and the realized lift is about the same, I may go that way.

I have the bilsteins in a box already and ready to go.

The fj spacer works on the 4runner. The spacer gave me exactly 1 5/8" lift on my rear.

Most people with the SAWs get 2"-2.25" of rear lift.

I found a set of Daystar 1.5's for 34.99 and free shipping. Went ahead and ordered them. At that price, if I decide not to use them, it's no big deal. Thanks for confirming the part number and fitment.

I am looking at these as well, any need to change anything else for fear of maxing out the struts with this 1.5" rear spacer?
