To those that have the Daystar Lift and have had it a while..

[live4swell]

This goes out to everyone that has had the Daystar Spacers installed for a while. I have had mine in for a long time and it seems like the ride has gotten stiffer, the spacers have definitely settled and I am thinking since they have settled and compressed maybe it is causing the ride to be stiffer. I just feel like I feel more bumps now and it hits them harder. I just wanted to see what other opinions are of having the spacers in for a while and if the ride has changed since settling...

Daystar does tend to settle a bit sooner than Revtek ... but I'm not sure why that would make your ride any stiffer ... ?

I've only had mine for about a month and it has settled a bit. The ride is about the same as before.

I don't think a suspension system can get stiffer over time unless the XREAS fluid is clogged and preventing it to do its job. Have you checked your tire pressures?

 

[live4swell]

My tire pressure is good, I keep my tires at 33 psi. I am not sure if it is stiffer, that is how i took it...basically I feel like bumps in the road are more pronounced now. Maybe I am just losing my mind...haha...that would explain a lot

If you're coming out on the 23rd, you can test drive my 4runner to see if there's a difference.

I have had mine for a while now. They settle pretty quick and I replaced my front top spacer, with a new one. Seems fine now.

My ride has not gotten any stiffer though. It still feels the same after about 17k miles now and many trips offroad. What I have noticed is that it gives about 1/2" less than advertised in the end. Both front and rear. It still works well enough, James' set has been tested well over many miles as well and he didn't have to swap the top spacer and it still works well.

Unfortunately Bobby I wont be able to attend, I will be in California for a week at the end of April...hopefully I will be able to meet up next time though...thanks for the offer

That's right, you mentioned that.

I'm sure we'll have another one the following month or so.
