Default 2.5" Lift

I have an '09 Crew Cab TRX4 and wanted to get a 2.5" front and rear lift. I thinking about getting the Daystar kit for $159. It looks very easy to install. I have three questions:

1. Has anyone heard good or bad things about Daystar.

2. Does anyone recommend any other brands? If so why?

3. Where would I find the factory torque values for all the nuts and bolts for the shocks, A-Arms, ect..... so that I can install this thing properly?

Thanks for your help.

It is an '09 1500 Crew Cab TRX4 4X4 with 17" rims 275/70/R17 Goodyear AT/S, 5.7L, Black. After the lift I would like to switch to 285/70/R17 Firestone M/Ts. I love the truck, I just think that these new trucks sit to low for 4x4 and wanted to get a little more ground clearance. Is there anything else you wanted to know?

I had a daystar kit on my 07 tacoma, it was fine. There's not too much technical stuff about a leveling kit - its just a coil spacer.

Pay attention to ride heights and understand you may need stiffer springs or air bags (rear obviously) to level it out visually.

You should try calling Bob @ moesperformance I believe he has some new shocks that would level the front. He suggest that for mine since I am leveling it-- but mines an 02.

Does anyone know where to find the factory torque values for all the bolts?
