I'm having no luck searching for info on the leveling kit here... Wondering how it looks, I've read about the front daystars coming out way higher than anticipated. |

you could probably get away with just a clevis in the front if all you want to do is level it out. |

3/8" seriously make that big of a difference? |

could do a clevis and a top plate, Rustys will give you 1/2 inch, Rocky Roads a little thicker so will give you more than 1/2 inch and they are drilled correctly! That would give you about an inch right there. An inch believe it or not is very noticeable

I've ran the 2" / 1.5" for a year, they give you this: 
Seems weird but that's the way IFS works. For every 1" you add to the strut ( front shock /coil combo) you get 2" of lift. Here's how they work / install / what I think of them on a CRD: http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=29217 |

An inch believe it or not is very noticeable An inch is more of what I was thinking...I'm afraid if I went w/ the 1.5 leveling, front only it would throw the front too high. I'll look into those plates. Tony, you did both the front & back & it looks good...so when I see this, I think the front only would be too high. I'm going to check out that link. Thanks. |

start with a clevis (they are dang near free from the hardware store) and add the plates later if needed. How much do you really want? |

A lift that's to high? blasphemy! 
J/K You can do a 3/8 clevis lift for $0, you do not need to fit conduit nuts. Check out our LIFT FAQ on top of this section. http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=37164 |

lol, not a lift that's too high...I don't want the front being higher than the back, as if I have mad hydraulics 
I just wanted to even things up for the time being...the clevis is probably the way to go for now. Thx for the replys! |
