Alloy USA + Daystar Lifts installed

[Gren71]

I installed the alloy usa 1.5in front spacers and the daystar 0.75in rears today. Also modified the front bumper euro air dams by cutting them down so they’re out of the ways of the tire at full turn.

Took a couple hours but was really not hard work

Also, a handful of owners have had an issue where the inner fender plastic flaps while driving. I believe thats due to the euro air dams not being in the rubis like they are on the sport.

So I found some solid tie down points and zip tied the plastics down. Made sure not to attach them to any fluid bearing tubes since, my luck, it would cause damage to the pipe.

During test drive i had 0 issues. May have “solved” a problem i wasn’t going to have. but figured it made sense while I was already in the wheel wells.

Are those flex cuffs compressing your springs? Cop/military outside the box thinking!

I might have asked you this but how's the ride with this setup?

Haha well...the angles kinda stunk using my spring compression tools and i needed to keep it as compressed as possible once i got it out. Putting on a lift only on jack stands requires some...ingenuity?...when making it all work. If you use enough high strength zip ties they can actually easily hold the compression and made it WAY easier to reposition once the spacer was in.

That's one way of doing it. As long as it worked for you, lol. Your JT is looking good by the way.

For your front bumper did you just cutout the part that connects the front fenders to the bumper? Or how'd you deal with that?
