Help Me Spend My Tax Return

[Gopherbeats]

I am now able to purchase a lift and new tires.
I am looking at getting the Daystar:

2.5" Front & Rear Complete kit (sway bar bushings, bump stops, upper strut plate & boots) KJ09115 $308

I would love to get a Frankenlift, but I can't really afford it at the moment along with new tires. I am leaning toward BFG A/T ko 245/75/16

Is the Daystar they way to go for now?

hey Gopher-

I just install that lift on my 04', and I love it!!! \/
I didnt get the full kit with the bushings and the stops though.
Got mine from ebay for just over $200..... And I have the same size BFG's
on there way to me as we speak.....
You definatly picked the right way to spend your tax return......lol

if your going to go off road just make sure you pick up a set of extended rear shocks to stop the stock shocks from topping out


the rancho RSX17004's work well with the daystar kit

and if it is in your budget get the rsx17505 struts at the same time


your KJ will love you for it

My tax money went 66% into savings and the rest goes on today. (5)245/75/16 Revos.

Tip: Check out www.truckxessories.com
That site has the kit model you want for a little less...shipped.
Then contact their support rep and tell them you knew someone who got it cheaper on eBay and he'll make you a good deal. O

That's what I did (thanks to bohica-kj (biggrin)).

Lift

I would go with a system that gives you new struts/springs and shocks/springs.. Do it right the first time and stay away from spacer kits..

I just purchased the RockFather II kit and really enjoy it.

Just installed the rear last night and I am installing the front tonight.. Will update picture..

update on my thinking...

After reading various things in the forums and chatting with people, I think I will perhaps go with the Frankenlift... I will throttle back by urge to get BFGs perhaps get Revos.. but I rather do things right and pony up the extra cash now, then in repairs or future upgrades to the same components in the future.

BFG's are great tires, but are so expensive. I wanted the Frankenlift too, but didnt have the cash for the BFG's, so I ended up shopping around and finding Goodyear MT/R's for $133 a piece, instead of the cheapest BFG's for $220 a piece.

Smart man. I ended up doing the same thing. My Frankenlift should arrive on Wednesday.
