Daystar Lift

Has anyone here used the Daystar front 2 inch coil spring spacer kit on there 2 wheel drive superduty. If so what all does it come with, and how is the ride with it. It cost $90 so surely its better than those cheap little $15 spacers you can get at AutoZone. I was thinking of using this and the F-350 Blocks.
Thanks for the help,
Ryan

I had it done with 2" Daystar spacers to my F350 4x2 SC this week. It really helped level out the truck. It did not require any changes to sway bar, control arms, pitman, shocks, etc.. However, it did require a realignment, which could not be achieved with the stock non-adjustable cams. The alignment shop installed adjustable cams to correct that problem.

The Daystars did not change the ride or handling.

I have them too. I am running 33's with no rubbing. Did you change your shocks. When I go down the steep driveway I get a clunk sound. I wonder if the shocks are at full drop?

So, you were able to get it aligned properly, then?

I have been looking into these, but I have heard mention of problems getting the right cams for the alignment. Some said they didn't make them with enough offset to correctly align.

Also, is the 2" enough to completely level the truck or does it still sit nose down a little?

Thanks

Scott
