I am looking to upgrade from my OTT lift (in the front anyway) to a full coil up front. I bought a set of Skyjacker 2.5in coils a few months back and want to mate them up with a good strut. Can I use Rancho or better yet OME with them? |

ok cool. I was thinking about buying the Clevis from the KK, rumor has it they are in inch taller. If they aren't too much money and I can't get a set fairly easly I am going to see for sure if they are in fact taller. so I figured 2.5 from the coil and another inch from the clevis. well see. Thank guys. oh does anyone have a part number of the Ranchos or OMEs that would work? Thanks. |

just use some conduit nuts and save yourself the money, you wont be able to buy the KK clevis for cheaper then $6, a 2" conduit is around $.99 |

The conduit will only give you half and inch where the clevis could possibly give an inch or more. just called, they are 61 a piece from jeep. |

Ive also heard those clevis's come with a 'destroy my suspension' package. Pretty neat deal for only $61. 
Stick with a quality suspension lift and dont worry about using a longer clevis to get lift. |

Stick with a quality suspension lift and dont worry about using a longer clevis to get lift. What you heard and what you know are two different things. You should be worried if I am going to take your advice. 
Also, thanks TOmmudd |

no worries sport A longer clevis will ruin the struts and upper control arms given that the suspension doesnt have Al's upper arms or extended bumpstops(which you do). Just trying to be a good sport.
Maybe someone later on will come upon this info that doesnt have al arms or extended bumpstops and find it useful.
