So heres how you get extra 3/4" out of your OME or Ironman lift. This is how I made it up to 4"+ lift

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.

Does the (KK) pressed steel clevis have to be bought from the dealer?

Nope. You can get it from a junk yard or even from someone who upgraded to coilovers.
