    I’d like to see your builds with the daystar leveling kit, I know they’re not as good as an actual suspension lift but I never plan to take this off the street so looking to get ideas.

    2.5 / 1.5 is probably the most common lift measurement for the 5th gen. You could seek out any pic of that lift height regardless of whether it's spacers or a $5000 top of the line suspension, and they will all look substantially similar from 50' away.

    I thought there was a dedicated thread for 2.5 / 1.5 pics but I might be misremembering that...

    Well I've seen good reviews about it but I've also seen a couple people say it had reverse rake because the front spacer lifts it closer to 3 inches so I wanna see if anyone else has experience with this specific kit or any other spacer lift

    With spacers, whatever the actual thickness of the spacer is x2 (+/-) will be the lift height. On the rear, the spacer thickness is the lift amount.

    I had a 3/2 ReadyLift spacer setup. It looked and drove really good, but I removed it around 20k miles.
    I was having issues when off-roading with the rear shocks topping out and at full droop in the front the UCA’s were contacting the coils.
