Daystar

Where is the best place, fastest and best price, to get the Daystar leveling kit for my '04 FX4?

I just ordered mine today from 4-wheel parts. I do have a question though for all you guys with the Daystar leveling kit (2.5"). Is it level? And did you have to do anything with the rear? The guy at 4WP told me that the front will be .5"-1" higher than the rear. I can't stand a truck that sags in the ***!!! OK, that was more than 1 question...lol

I have the Daystar leveling kit on my truck and it definitely does not sag in the rear. If anything, its about .5" lower in the front.

Do you need to have the truck re-aligned after adding the Daystar 2.5" kit?

Yes!

Most Daystar users report that there's a slight toe-in after install, so an alignment is a must!

Sierra..do you mind me asking where you got yours installed and how much it cost you?

I wanted to avoid the high price of 4Wheel Parts ($327 for just install and alignment - I already have the kit), but I might take it to them anyway just because I don't know anyone else i can trust around here....
