Tacoma: Daystar 2.5" Lift Kit?

[TacoGrande]

I'm considering installing a Daystar 2.5" lift on my 2000 Tacoma. It seems good for what I want. (Bigger tires and wheels, not serious off-roading) I was wondering about stiffness of ride, etc. Does anyone have this on their truck? How does it handle? Comfortable ride? Thanks.

I had the 2.5 daystar lift on my truck for 2-3 years and it worked out fine-
I had the daystar 2.5 spacer w/ Ranch 5000's up front and
a 1.5in lift rear shackle w/ extra toyota leaf & Rancho 9000's in the rear.

The set up allowed me to clear 32" BFG Mud Terrains with No Rubbing even when I went wheeling & full turns. I had no complaints, the ride was a bit stiffer, but perfectly acceptable.

I have since replaced that setup with King adj. coilovers mainly to support the weight of an ARB Bullbar & winch.


No probs with the Daystar lift (You could basically go with a different spacer up front such as the Cornbred spacer)

For the rear I would not get the Daystar lift shackles simply because they require different bushings for the leaf springs- Instead I would get the Downey lift shackles.
- If you are going to go Add a leaf in the rear- get a longer AAL and not a short one (relatively speaking)

I have it on my Tundra about 2 months now. Good smooth ride, firm but not hard. My back is broken and it doesnt affect me so i say it is great!
I have 33" yokos without rubbing. It is also easy to install.
