Conduit lift?!!

slikjr · **Posted:** Thu Jul 05, 2007 12:50 pm

I am a little lost when you guys are talking "conduit nuts" to supplement or add a lift? What exactly are they and where do you put them? I am running a 2.5" lift, but am a little curious about it. Also a "clevis lift"... what is that as well? If any one who has one can post some pics, that would be great!

I assume the conduit nuts go on top of the strut somehow or... between the strut fork and strut?!!.. or... and the clevis lift, I have no idea.

Please keep me in the loop! ahahah Thanks a lot guys

this refers to putting 2" conduit washer nuts between the top of the clevis and bottom of the strut assy.

some guys put 2 or 3, some of us have 4. not sure what the ratio is on the lift per washer, but it does help out to level the front end.[/img]

What he said.

Here's a right up: Science Guy's right up

The Clevis is the round 'clamp' that holds the bottom of the front strut - a Clevis lift is loosening the clamp
pushing the strut up - generally about 1/4" to 3/8" and then tightening the clamp, the conduit nuts are just spacers to make sure both sides are the same - the clamp should hold without them.

This is the original Clevis lift step x step (no photos)

can i add 3 conduits to both left and right front and 3 rear isolators and still use the stock suspension?

elephantrider · **Posted:** Thu Jul 05, 2007 2:27 pm

yes you can..

i have 4 washers on each side and 3 isolators on each side of the rear.

riptricket · **Posted:** Thu Jul 05, 2007 2:28 pm

any problems? and about how much did you gain in clearance?

slikjr · **Posted:** Thu Jul 05, 2007 4:20 pm

excellent!! Thanks for all the advice. Got it all figured out now. I am going to add a couple washers to each side in the front then. I like the extra lil bit of lift it gives you! Count me in! ahaha

Thanks again

I have two conduit nuts and if I added anymore I would get upper balljoint contact.. I have the OME front shocks..

elephantrider · **Posted:** Thu Jul 05, 2007 5:06 pm

never had any issues with my set up, even before the arb began its 1/4" travel south.

no ubj contact, no binding, no noises, no nothing.

has worked like a champ, and ive beat my kj up pretty good up in kentucky and ohio with the midwest group...

i also have the ome shocks up front.

I made my own custom spacer. 0.2" thick and I gained 0.4" of lift.

renegadekj · **Posted:** Thu Jul 05, 2007 11:08 pm

Yeah i think if you add 1/4" of spacer you will gain about 1/2" of lift ei. Correct me if Iam wrong?

Jeepjeepster · **Posted:** Thu Jul 05, 2007 11:26 pm

yes, 2:1 ratio..

So what size tires can you run with that setup?

elephantrider · **Posted:** Fri Jul 06, 2007 10:34 am

32" tire with trimming.

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Jul 06, 2007 12:19 pm

Thats with lift etc, not just the conduit nuts installed, just to make it clear You may gain 1/2 , maybe 3/4 of an inch with conduit nut lift thats about it.

elephantrider · **Posted:** Fri Jul 06, 2007 12:31 pm

yep, thank tom, for clarifying.. :lol:

to be clear, you CANNOT fit 32" tires with a clevis lift only ..

if someone tries, please post pics of the malay...
