I need about .5 of an inch in the front. I have a horrible rake that I hate. Is there any possible way to get that extra .5 inch without switching to coils.

Rusty's 2.5" Spacer Lift. I thought you couldn't do a clevis on the spacer?

you can add maybe 2 conduit nuts for the clevis not sure with the spacer lift how that will affect it though, never messed with a spacer lift after I saw what it did. But you can try it. Doesnt take long to do or just loosen the clevis, pry the strut up a little and tighten it down, will not even have to disassemble anything, easiest to do, condiuts only make sure that you have the same distance on each side anyways

It works the same with spacer or spring lift. Just loosen bolt...maybe use a prybar to relocate up a 1/4" or so and retighten. Should level you out...for free.

only thing I can think of.... is maybe with a spacer there is not as much strut left to play with. but i have seen plenty of guys on here who have spacers and clevis lift in theirt sigs.
