Any feedback on the Daystar 2.5" assembled lift kit from wheelers?
Hey guys,
Im looking at lift kits and came across the daystar 2.5" front lift w/ 1.5" rear lift via an add-a leaf. It comes with new front Bilstein HD shocks which are already assembled with TRD coils and the daystar spacers. Here is the link (its at the very bottom of the page: http://www.wheelersoffroad.com/tundradstrlift.htm My truck has 45xxx on it so I figured it would be a good time to replace the shocks as the ride is like a pogo stick on the highway over slight undulations. Does anybody have feedback on the daystar lift? Is it a quality kit with no binding? This forum has been very helpful and look foward to any advice you guys have. Thanks

if you are not planing to do much offroadin ull be fine.
My truck was originaly a stock 2WD, I added 4x4 springs and the yellow/blue bilstien shocks.
Then i added the daystar 2.5 spacers and the 1.5 AAL (from wheelers)
I dont off road at all, as my back is broken and cant take that abuse. Power line roads are about the max i can do.
My truck rides firm, solid, but not harsh.It used to bottm out over railroad tracks.
I would do it again in a heart beat.
If you do any off roading coilovers are usually the best bet.

Coming from someone with the day star 2.5" on TRD Bilsteins...I can say you'll love the world alot more if you just buck up and get the full fledged adjustable coilovers. My ride is still like a pogo stick.
Take a look at Wheeler's coil overs with the Bilstein shocks. Will get your 2" lift in the front, without a spacer. Non adjustable, so low maintenance. Good quality setup on and off road. This spring assembled with Bilstein HD's (front and rear) with Wheelers 1.5" add-a-leaf and limit straps to boot will be about $785, versus the $699 Daystar set up that your looking at.

for the $86, you get rear shocks, better shocks, limit straps and stronger front end.
Awesome man. Thanks again guys for the help. Cant wait to get the lift and an ARB Sahara front bumper. Will have pics in gallery soon once everything is on and the car is detailed
