So the new KK has a one inch or so clevis and appears to have same strut size how about the A arm end could this be the ultimate clevis lift?

Not so sure what youre getting at.

You can not get lift with a different upper A-Arm.

The clevis could be put in if both ends are the same as KJ just a longer clevis ?

The KK clevis is 1" longer then the KJ's,from the measurements it should fit on the KJ with no problems.It'll give 2" of lift on a KJ all by itself.

So they are a direct swap? 08 KK clevis' into a KJ?

gains an additional inch possibility from the longer clevis?

You'll gain 2" of lift from the KK clevis alone,remember to times by 2 for the amount,3/8" clevis lift gains you 3/4" of lift and so on from the placement of the clevis on the LCA.

thats a good idea actually then. how much would this cost to get the KK clevis?? would it mess anything up though?? ill be following this to see how it turns out. heck i might actually try it if everyone thinks it will work with out having any major problems.

would this over compress ur spring?? could any harm actually be done by this?? and could u use OME HDs and actually get them on? that was a little tight to get ack in with my rustys lift but im sure it could be done. im still up for trying it though.
