Default Daystar 1/75" Leveling Kit
After installing my shrockworks bumper and winch it dropped the nose of my jeep by roughly 2 inches. After driving around like that for a while I just could take it anymore so I put a Daystar 1.75" leveling kit. The "kit" is simply 2 1.75" spacer pucks. Install was simple and straight forward and only took about 1.5 hours to do by myself. I could have done it faster but I managed to kill another air compressor and couldn't use my air tools.

I did take enough pictures to do a full write-up on the install which I hope to complete by the end of the weekend.

here are the pics....I hope you can tell a difference!

The kit was $45 out the door from my local 4 wheel parts.

I don't really like 4WP very much, but the price was right and they had it in stock.
