So I think reducing them to the 2.25 or so will give you the lift you want. I remember reading online that the daystar 2.5 inch lift was closer to 2 inches when setup on some trucks. So if the links only have to raise the front end a half inch to achieve the level it shouldn’t really effect the ride any I would imagine.
Shortening the links raises the front but not on a 1:1.
No, I know it’s not 1:1, 2.25 is a measurement from one of the first guys to do this as what his links were measured to be set at to achieve his level so that is a good starting point.Shortening the links raises the front but not on a 1:1.
From Revel:
Shortening the Link from the factory length will raise the vehicle. Each 5mm variance from stock will adjust
the vehicle approx ¾ - 1”.

Adding a spacer and nothing else will not change height. You need to adjust the height using links. The spacer reduces the air pressure in the bags. Without the spacer and links only, I had a stiff ride in the front. Now I have a softer ride with less pressure in the bag. I can now adjust my links down to get a higher lift, if I wanted to. I have not changed my links yet, but my ride is closer to stock now.
We both agree then that 2.25" is the right direction for him and that micro adjustments can have a dramatic effect. At first, I thought we were trying to solve for why the spacer didn't change the height of the front end after install vs before. Going to 2.25" from 2.5" would adjust the front end higher, by about 1", per the calculations from Revel so this is validation of what you said, with more specific reasons on how we get to that conclusion.
That’s not the one I was told. I was told this one - model # KC09113BK
on some sites I see this listed as a 2.5” kit and on daystar’s site it shows up as a 2” kit. What gives?
