Daystar Suspension

Suspension

Basically a suspension system is the part of a vehicle that helps the tires maintain traction with the road while allowing the steering system to work and keeping the passengers ride smooth all at the same time. 

Basic Suspension Kit Parts

All that the suspension system does is not done with just one part.  There are many and if even one is not working properly, it could throw your entire vehicle out of whack.  I will not go into detail about each and every part here, but I will give an overview of the most basic but important parts of a suspension system.  First you have the springs.  Coil springs are the most common type but leaf springs are also used.  Torsion bars come next.  Then you have the air springs.  Next is something called a sprung or unsprung mass.  Dampers are utilized as well.  The shock absorbers are part of the dampening structure.  Struts are used in this structure as well.  Anti-sway bars round out the list of basic parts of a suspension.  As stated before, this is a basic breakdown of the parts and not a complete list.

Features

Keep in mind that Daystar suspension systems are after-market kits.  One feature is that these can come in either simple kits, having basic parts or super kits which have everything needed to replace or upgrade the entire truck’s body mounts and suspension.  By doing this, your vehicle’s performance and handling will vastly improve.  Everything is included for rebuilding or upgrading one vehicle and all parts are both grime and fluid resistant. 

Installation

If you are a grease monkey or completely comfortable doing your own repair work on your vehicle or even if you just want to see if you can do it yourself, then go ahead.  This is a fairly simple install.  It can be a bit daunting though if you are not a part friendly type of person.  If that describes you, then by all means, take the vehicle to someone who knows what they are doing and have them do it for you.

Warranty

Daystar suspension kits come with limited lifetime warranties.  Warranty information will be included in the packing materials your kit came in.  As with all parts purchases, make sure you read the warranty information very carefully so that you will know exactly what is covered and what to do if issues arise.
