Lift Questions

[2Crunk]

Mine was just at 30k. I did the spacer lift only. No springs. When my xreas wears out, if it ever does, I am going to replace it with the Toytec Ulitmate, but until then I am thrilled with the Daystar. I got Spidertrax on the way but only one pair (friend got them for his Tundra and wasn't happy with all the rubbing up front so he sent them to me). I am gonna put them in the front and see what trimming needs to be done and if it is minor enough I will order another set for the rear. If I don't feel like doing all the trimming I am just going to run them in the rear and see how that goes for a while.

Pictures of my 4R with the Daystar kit installed can be found here:

zand, did you notice any change in the way your stock setup drives vs. daystar level kit install...i.e. did it ride just as smooth as stock, was the handling affected by much? I am wanting to also buy this lift but I love how the t4r drives now and I dont want anything to change but the ride heighth.

Where would you get the FJ Springs at? I keep hearing a lot of people talk about FJ Springs. I have ordered the 2.5/1.5 Daystar and after reading some threads was wondering if I should order some FJ Springs. What are some advantages/disadvantages of having FJ Springs?

Part of my goal was to obtain stock suspension feel as the 4R is my wifes daily driver and I think the Daystar achieved this. Body roll is very little increased since the vehicle is now higher, but I just installed Spidertrax in the rear only this weekend and that seems to have alleviated the extra sway from the height. My wife can't tell a difference at all from stock other then she has to hop a little more to get in. :biggrin2:

I am thrilled with how the truck turned out.
