The key is the KK pressed steel clevis (which is plenty strong). Its 3/8" longer than the cast KJ/KK clevis. My wifes setup (before sagged out was at 4" with 1/8" clevis space) 3/8" top plate Ironman C springs (think OME 927) 1/4" clevis space KK clevis So heres the math on that 3/8 top plate= 3/4" lift Springs = 2.25" lift 1/4" clevis = 1/2" lift KK Clevis = 3/4" lift So add that up its 4.25" lift. Note: OME 927 will give ya 2.5" instead of 2.25". I never had any problems with Ball joints or CVs maxing out and killing themselves. In fact, it has worked real well. I have put many many miles on this setup. But now going to custom coilovers for $700. This will allow you over 4" easily and use less clevis lift. Usally without the KK clevis your getting 3.75". I have posted this on the fourm before, but now I know for sure its on here. ![]() ![]() Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk |

Nope. You can get it from a junk yard or even from someone who upgraded to coilovers. Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk |
