If that is the total for the spacers, installation and an alignment, it sounds great.

The reason we recommend the shackle method is because of the long term effects and cost. Example alignments and shocks. These spacers are known to prematurely wear shocks out. No alignment needed as well. Just a suggestion that most people don't think about.

I had a set of Daystar spacers for years on a Jeep and they never showed any indication of any wear.

It's not a bad deal if you don't want to do the install yourself. Me and a couple buddies put on my 2" spacers. Didn't take us more than 3 hours (had to make a tool run, and needed to persuade the control arm back into place since we didn't use an impact).

X2, I put in 2.5" spacers by myself and it was easy. 3 hrs including a few snack breaks. But if the $160 is the kit, install and alignment go for it.

Yeah $160 is a steal! You figure the spacer runs about $40 and an alignment will be anywhere from $75-$100.

He wants $39.95 for the spacers.

I do bussiness with the guy so he gave me a good deal, the 160 is the spacers and the install. He doesnt do alignments but a local place has a special going on for $39.50. So right at $200.00 for the complete Job
