hello all, I own a 2007 KA Dodge nitro and im lifted 2.5" in the front and 4" in the rear running 265/70r17. i just finished my steel bumper for it and now it sags in the front due to the weight. i found on jeepin by al a 1" clevis strut spacer and was wondering if anyone knew if when i add the spacer if it will stress/damage anything on the front end. Thanks! -Obee

1" is a huge spacer for a clevis lift. I wouldn't do anything over 1/2" spacer, and even that is pushing it(for safety reasons).

All the spacer does is act as a measuring device when you slide the clevis down the shock. Most do 3/8", some do 1/2". Everything in front doubles, so that 1/2" becomes an inch of lift.

What lift do you have now? You shouldn't have any problems after install unless it puts you over 3" of lift. After 3" you start to need a-arms to help with contacting the springs.

First. what lift do you currently have and have you already added a clevis lift or top plate?
Next 2.5 front and 4 inch rear :shock: Why?
Biggest clevis spacer you can use is .500 depending on what you already have , and what setup.

NEED PICS of ATH bumper center section installed! How did you modify it for the KA's lower sitting radiator?
