great product, April 22, 2009
By 95dodgeramrunner from litchfield, CT

Pros: Cheap,easy install, allows bigger tires
Cons: none yet

"I recently purchased the 2 1/2" leveling kit for my 95 ram. My buddy and i installed it and had no problems, we were able to do it in about 3 hours, and that was with a short rain delay and plenty of drinkin' and smokin'. I think it's a great product for the price and would defitnetly recomend to others. When it was done the truck looked awsome and it didn't even need an allignment. I got 33's on now but w/ body lift, hope to get 35's."

They don't tell you everything......., June 10, 2008

Ease of Use/Installation: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5
Features: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5
Quality/Construction: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

Pros: This product did what I wanted it to do. It leveled my F150 4x4 out and it looks good.
Cons: But what they don't tell you is that it throws your truck so far out of alignment .

"They need to give you more information when you purchase this product. I had to purchase special cams toget it back to factory specs and that it just bearly made it...So i rotate the tires lot more often then is normally necessary. IF YOU GET THIS PRODUCT JUST BE AWARE THAT IT WILL BE TOUGH TO GET YOUR FRONT END BACK TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE.........THEY GIVE YOU THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS KIT IS ALL THATS YOU NEED."

Pros: 2 hour installation, maintaining factory ride w/ out having to get new shocks

"I just put this lift on my 03' Dodge Ram 1500 2wd. installation was easy w/ the exception of having to remove the brakes (because its 2wd). It took 2 hours without working fast. I got the full 2 1/2 inches along with enough space to clear brand new 35 INCH TIRESon a wide wheel with no scrubbing at all. I didnt need new shocks, the ride didn't change, and i didn't even have to get it alligned afterwards. I was very happy with how well it leveled out my truck and how easy it was to install."

"I purchased this lift for my 03 Silverado. The website says it gives you a 2inch lift, but i got 2 1/2 which is what it says on the box. I put 2 inch blocks in the back and the truck looks great. I did the front before the back though and i wouldn't have left it like that, the front looked taller than the back, not level. The installation took a little more than 2 hours, but if i didn't follow the instructions on the first side i may have finished it in 2. My truck did need new shocks though, even though they say you don't. With the shocks fully extended i had to have someone sit in the truck to bring it back down enough to bolt on the shock to get it to the allignment shop and the ride was absolutely horrbile. My exact words were "i just ruined my truck" I did go out and get some new rancho shocks that are the right size and now it rides even better than it did from the factory and looks better too."

"If you need to raise the front end of your truck, these levelers do it great! I got about 2.5" on my 05 Dodge Ram. Installation was very easy, taking less than 2 hours total. Of course, you do need to get the vehicle realigned afterwards."

If you can spend money on a suspension lift, October 12, 2006
By bosshog104 from Kingwood, Tx
Ease of Use/Installation: 1 out of 5 1 out of 5

"I just want to make all other buyers aware that this is not an easy 2 hour installation. It took me about 8 hours working by myself. Make sure you have some coil spring compressors to help with easy installation.
Another caveat that is not mentioned in the description, is that you will need an alignment. The ride to get the alignment was very rough.
Once you get the alignment, YOUR TRUCK WILL NOT MAINTAIN A STOCK RIDE. The ride is very rough. Forget about using your cup holder.
To help out I replaced the shocks with high dollar shocks that "helped a little".

After 8 hours of installation, $70.00 for a alignment, and $100.00 and 45 minutes installing the aftermarket shocks, I would recommend spending the extra for a kit that didn't involve 2" spacers, for on road applications.

Lastly, if you decide to get the 2" spacers, the front stance will be higher than the back, so you will need a 1" block kit for the rear to even this out."

Daystar Leveling Kit, June 25, 2006
By Truck Lover from Savannah, Ga.

"I have just recently purchased the Daystart Leveling Kit for my 1996 Ford F-150. I needed something that was quick, easy, and cheap to install because i had larger tires put on the truck that were rubbing tremendously. After about 2 hours of installation, i had the leveling kit on and was on my way. Have had many compliments on the truck's new look and stance. Would definitely buy again!"
