Re: I would reccommend the daystar
Do you mind telling us who did the work for you? I wouldn't mind paying $250 for install/alignment. I'm trying to save on the quote of $315 that 4WheelParts gave me for that work. I'm in the Dallas (Plano) area - I don't know who to go to!
Thanks!
Thanks!

I used a local alignment shop that specializes in lifted vehicles.
(250.00 labor charge with alignment) The allignment was out just a bit. You need to compress the springs which can pose a problem for some. I have heard guys on the web site doing it themself. I dont want to get my head knocked off by a spring, so I sent it to the pros. Plus when you have a nice truck I didnt want to chance messing something up.
Hope this helps, RN

The shop is in orange , ca. Accurate Alignment.........they do a great job for a fair price. Im not sure this will help you being so far away.
It does seem that it may have settled a bit after 600 miles.......not sure maybe its me! The front could be 3/4 to 1" higher.

Not sure
There are some guys on this site that run 35's with the daystar. I assume that you will have to cut and trim.
Im not sure I would do it. My truck doesnt rub, but it could use 1 more inch up front for looks (IMO). The 35's look nice also. Check Tremics gallery https://www.f150online.com/galleries....cfm?gnum=4417 he has 35's and centerline escapes with the daystar and he did some triming underneath. His truck looks good.
Hope this helps. RN
