Just finished installing a Daystar 1.75 spacer lift on my 2012 Arctic. It took me about 4 hours by myself. That includes an hour trying to get the stupid spacer that I had installed upside down off. 

Here's a hint for anyone planning on attempting this: don't install the spacer upside down! I had to use a vice to pop it off. 

Also, I had to release the parking brake cable from the bracket to get the rear end to drop. 

There was also a rubber hose that popped off the rear axle. Some kind of breather hose? Anyways, that just popped back on. Here are some before and after photos. Hopefully this works since I'm on my phone. 

The Rubicon style tires look fine in my opinion. I wouldn't want to go with much more lift on the stock tires.

Let me know what you think! sorry my driveway is a hill so it throws of the perspective in the photo. Lighting wasn't the greatest either.
