Daystar Lift

Well, I installed the daystar combo lift. It came with the scorpion shocks and it looks great. (pics to come) Just figured I would pass on some things that might help anyone else that installs this lift or a similar one.
First. the rear shock on the drivers side was hitting the shock mount that was welded to the axel. Had to grind a bit off for the larger body shock to be able to rotate enough so the top can be seated in the stud pocket. Second. As far as vibration goes. I made my own carrier bearing drop with with 1\4 in worth of stainless washers and the driveline is in line. I only have a slight vibration from the dreaded needle bearing on the drivers side front diff. East coast Gear has the bushing to eliminate that and I will be purchasing one asap. It only does a slight vibration around 35-40mph and goes away when the bearing warms up about 5-10miles. It won't hurt anything so im not too concerned. Hope this helps anyone!

 

Interesting. How is the ride? Get much firmer?

 

a bit firmer but handles great. I didn't notice too much more axel wrap but I thing in the future I will be getting a bud built traction bar.
