I have a question I bought the 1.5 daystar kit because the 2.5 requires longer arms and my truck is pretty much new so I am not going to do that yet but if I have read i can stack the stock isolater on top of the new spacer. does anyone have a picture of a truck like that? with the stock isolater? thanks!

a 2.5" spacer does not require long arms. im sure if you found some, it would help alleviate harsh angles caused by the spacer, but they are by no means required.

and to answer your question, as far as i know you are supposed to put the stock isolator on top of the spacer. that is what helps it seat properly into the bucket.

Yea according to that writeup and everything else I've read that's correct John bout the isolator. I'm not sure on the other though since he has an 08 (different front suspension last I knew)

Default Problem! of course

Well the day came I wish I could say I have pictures of my newly leveled truck buuuuut i dont because the shop installed the spacer and there was ZERO change the owners mind was blown and so was mine since it sat there all day anyways he called daystar thier response was oh ya sometimes that happens haha really? anyways the shop owner ordered the 2.5 leveling kit instead my only worry now is I have 2 inch longer shocks but for those guys who have the kit has your front end woren any faster because of the angle? thanks!

did you measure the frame or fender wells before and after? I just dont see how a 2.5" spacer does nothing.

I dont know cause I didnt do it and it was a 1.5 spacer I think the guy didnt put the stock isolater on top of it Im going to have him try that before he put on the 2.5 but if there is no change in price i might see what the 2.5 looks like without the isolater it may just level it perfectly but thats wishful thinking
