Daystar 1 3/4" Lift...PLEASE HELP...
I am considering the Daystar 1 3/4" lift on my 2008 2 door JK. Does anyone have any experience with this? I am only interested if this is a very simple process. Meaning, I only want to put the spacers in and be done. No mods to steering, fuel lines, brake lines, radiator, etc. I say this because I am not a very mechanical guy. Can someone PLEASE leave some feedback. Thanks.

i used to have that same spacer kit on mine, except it was from Rough Country....it's an easy install, just take your time and don't forget any steps. make sure you have a floor jack with jack stands..and just some basic hand tools will be sufficient.
just because it's only spacers doesn't really make it any easier, most of the steps are the same because the same stuff has to come off whether it's a spacer kit or coil kit..

The write-up that WOL did for the tera-flex lift was a big help for me doing my lift. I didn't have to re-center the steering or anything else. I will say that it would be good to have someone to help.

not necessarily...i never had any issues with my steering with the 1.75" or the 2.5" spacers....but i did when i went to the coils + spacers. btw, if you do take it to a shop i wouldn't pay more than a couple hundred bucks in labor.....really, i would just do it myself if i were you....it took me less than 2 hours to do it by myself, and that was the first time i had ever installed a lift.

I installed the Rough Country 1.75" lift by myself, in my driveway in a few hours. It was the first time I ever installed a lift. Steering wheel didn't need to be re-centered. Read over the installation instructions several times to fully understand the process before you begin.
