pics?
I ran the daystar leveling kit (1.75" front 1" rear) for awhile myself. Great kit, especially if you add a winch and bumper. They give just enough lift to compensate for the sag of the added weight and to correct the rake. For $75 you just really cant go wrong with them. No real correction to suspension or steering are really needed if that is all you are running.
I was wondering if you have any pics of your daystar leveling kit set-up? thanks!

Damn... That one looks like the best of both worlds between the RR and AEV. Who makes it?

ARB under the Safari Snorkel label.

They show the left hand drive part number here. I have seen some installed...they don't look too good as it goes though the sheet metal and the fender and is exposed on the inside of the fender. Not the best design in my opinion.
Here is an install on you tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9xXzs-x9rs

kit installed
I just installed the kit today, it took less than two hours to do the whole thing, impact tools are nice.
For the rear you have to remove more stuff than the instructions say, such as the wires for the elocker for a rubi and the sensor wires to the frame for rear wheels.
Anyway it went in easy and it drives with no noticeable differences than before.
The only thing is that the 32 tires look small now.
