What's the largest 16" tire size with the lift? Can I trust the local dealership to properly install or should I go to a custom shop that would have more experience in this kind of modification? Thanks
Daystar doesn't provide a maximum tire size for a 16 inch rim, but the maximum recommended tire size on a 17 inch rim (235/60R17) equates to about a 235/65R16, or a 28 inch tire. Thanks!
On the struts, does that say SRA by Koni? So the Renegades come with Koni struts? If so do all models? If gets a little more complicated in the rear huh? Now you need to replace the stock tires at least, they look way to small! Like every vehicle lifted I bet that Renegade does not scamper and handle like stock though. But is really better off road and in snow! Especially in snow!
You just said it, "they didn't adjust the tie rod ends". But they did move where they're connected. By lifting 1.5 inches, that means the tie rod ends are connected 1.5 inches lower than where they were. This will most definitely throw off the alignment. And like you said, on your Acura, you lowered it 1.5 inches and needed an alignment. Same thing goes for lifting it.
Time to lift your vehicle! Step one, remove the windshield wipers. Ha
Love the Renegade... looks much better lifted, but now time for some bigger shoes!
Never thought id want a Renegade but now....kinda.....do......

with this lift have you had any issues with alignment?
We haven't run into any alignment issues.

Matthew Caughey I actually had to wait for a camber kit to come out to put the alignment back into spec
thank you for the information must be put in wrong because I have a huge alignment problem now
Don't let anyone ever tell you anything different, you always need to to have your alignment done after a lift.
What size tires can fit now?
Daystar recommends a maximum tire size of 235/60R17.
