How big is the daystar rear spacer? If its only ~1" (which it might be if the daystar lift tends to run shorter) then its possible to leave it in. I used the Monroe LL shocks to get an extra inch from the rear of mine but eventually plan on making a 1" spacer and moving onto a more performance oriented shock
Good catch Matt. I never thought about the rear spacer being smaller than the other lift spacers on the market. If your only talking an inch I wouldnt be to worried about needing any other parts in the rear end. Regardless, one thing I do recommend on any lifted XK that goes off road is a Rusty's Adjustable rear track bar. More and more members are finding that their rear drive shaft hits the gas tank/skid when the rear is articulated. The last thing you want to do is ruin an expensive drive shaft.

Which reminds me.... I need to bend my gas tank skid back in place.
Just cut the skid like I did. No more rubbing on my XK.Originally Posted by Matt

The Daystar lift is prolly closer to 2" then 1". When I get the OME lift, I will prolly only run it with a small strut spacer upfront as that will give me the amount of lift I want. All this talk of reagearing has me thinking about just picking up those 3.55's from cmdrjim and getting a local shop to swap them in.

Most lifts raise the front more than the rear. So if the front was lifted 1.5-2" then its possible that the rear spacer is close to 1". It's worth measuring it and using it if its a shorter spacer. I believe my rear RC spacer was ~1.75"....
Oh yea i forgot about that, my bad haha, the spacers are bigger in the front to level and give a full 2".
