Default Daystar vs Readylift SST lift kits

I am looking to add a lift kit to my truck. I have a 2009 Ram QC 4x4 with the 4.6 V8. I am not going to be doing any off roading or looking to add huge tires or anything I just want the truck to look a little taller. Compared to other Rams my ram looks a little shorter and I like the higher, tougher Ram look. I am only looking at a 2.5 inch lift kit, nothing extreme but I cannot decide which one I should get and am looking for some guidence. I have never purchased a lift kit before and know little about them. The price difference is about $150 or so installed with the ready lift being the more expensive. Anyone have an comments or suggestions?

I bought the Daystar kit and had to have it removed because the front end shook so bad in 4 wheel dirve. I would not recomend them.

Very common problem. Many guys report this issue when leveling a coil over, IFS Ram be it 3rd or 4th Gen. This seems to be a LOT higher occurrence with 2.5" kits than 2" kits, although it has been reported with 2" kits by some...

Default wobble

I have heard from some that both kits have had the tendancy of the 4X4 wobble and that it just happens on some trucks and not others.
