Just picked up a 22 Jt High altitude looking to install a level, I searched the site but found mostly the Terraflex 1.5" used with good results.
A supplier we use at work offered the option of the Daystar ( https://www.quadratec.com/p/daystar/15-spacer-leveling-kit-jeep-wrangler-jl )
I can't find many personal reviews on it.
Looks similar to the Terraflex, spring spacer, but comes with shock extensions.
Anyone have personal experience with it against the Terraflex? Or in general?

poly spacers are poly spacers, they're all about the same.

I had this one on my truck for a bit, then replaced it with a 3.5" kit. Nothing wrong with the kit, ride was just fine, same quality as all the other poly spacer kits

On my 2020 Rubicon, I ran the Teraflex 1.5" spacer for awhile and found it to just be too much of a harsher ride for my liking.

Daystar is one piece and replaces the factory isolator, Teraflex is two pieces and reuses the factory isolator effectively being three pieces. I prefer the Daystar as it is one piece, have had it installed for 20k miles, no issues.

Great to hear, going to order tomorrow then, I figured for $100 (CAD) it was hard to go wrong either way.
Have my 275/65R20 AT3s on order already wanted to complete the look!

As others have said, a poly spacer is a poly spacer and all work. The shock extensions are a good addition if you are not replacing shocks.

In my opinion the advantage of the Teraflex kit is that it has the option of three different lift heights (.5" / 1.0" / 1.5" ) depending on your needs and you can adjust as desired with one purchase.

I run the daystars.

Not entirely sure about my noise, but mine do creak/pop a little when getting a lot of flex on the front-end, like when driving through a ditch diagonally.

Other than that, they are doing a great job!
