ok... so i lifted the libby i did 2ring clevis in the front and 2 rear pads... and as everyone knows the rake is bad... now that the springs are settled down in... i had lost prolly 1/2inch or so... but my question is if i add a upper strut plate will it work snice at full droop i barely dont rub.. if i add that plate will it make it rub ur just push the strut lower and the UBJ will still not touch?... sorry for the bad explanation. i need some major help on this... |

Would be better to remove a rear isolator or two to lessen the "rake"...wheel travel is as important as lift and protecting the UBJ is paramount. |

ok thats one way to go... but that does not answer my question... jake it up the hole way... no rubbing but any more lift ( as in say 2 more clevis rings) will make it touch.... but it add a strut spacer and jake it up and at full droop will it touch or be the same as before snice i just move everything down and no more wheel travel other than the normak lift? |

I run the exact setup you are asking about as far as the lift goes. When I did this though I had UBJ spring contact at full droop. I slapped on a set of AL's upper A-arms and this got rid of all contact now. Hope this helps ya a bit. Mike |

I have the Rusty's coil lift in front with a 1/2" clevis and the 1/2" Strut Plate. My coil lift had really sagged over time. Just watch your CV angles. I am not using any rings or such for my clevis lift. I just moved the bracket down a 1/2" and tightened it down. |

Both are of equal importance. Mike |
