I will use this space to post photos from this weekends install of the H&R spring 40mm lift.
My question is about these "Clevis" inserts used for leveling. What are are they and where can they be purchased?

I will add more notes later. As of now I thnk this was something I really needed to do to the KJ. It rides much better and I was afraid if I continued on like I was, the Koni shocks would have broken from bottoming out. The KJ rides much smother, higher and without any loss of handling.
UPDATE 17 April: just went to the store and back and as I was entering the driveway, I came in a little fast to see how the springs would absorb the dip. Well I cas say this, no more bottoming out th shocks, it just compressed and let the shocks do the fine tuning. Tomorrow is the big day when I go to work and do some trail driving.
Update 10 May: Just drove to Charleston SC and back and the ride was great!. Musch better than before. I have lost some handling because of the new ride hight but I can live with that.
Update 112 Nov 2010: Well I went with Spidertrax spacers and gained my handling back that was lost. Worked for a while but then noticed a vibration coming on. Well I have since moved on to 16X8 Rubivcons and the vibration is gone and the handling has improved again. Only issue I can tell is under hard cornering and the sidewalls flex more than before. Could be the 1" wider rims. Over all I am still very happy with this setup.
