2 inch conduit lock nuts? Would these be my clevis lift?  http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&productId=202241105&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=202241105&cm_mmc=shopping-_-googlebase-_-D27X-_-202241105&locStoreNum=6866 |

That's what I used, not sure if Home Depot only sells them in 50 or not, but Lowes sells them in packs of 2 i believe if you don't want to buy so many |

You can also just use a vernier caliper to space the clevis. The conduit nut are not really necessary. |

RyN7, so your saying lossen it, measure out some space and tighten it back down? |

Yes. I ran like that for over a year and the shocks do not sag back or anything. |

i understand how the front is lifted more with these conduits, but how is rear compensated? something about isolators but i have no idea what those are...

Not putting spacers in is a bad Idea, I tried that.... It Slipped. For the 1$ a piece you may as well buy them. You are going to end up level with the rear, only add a extra Rear Iso if you want to get a slight Rake (Nose down effect) |

Well, sure sounds easier then taking the clevis all the way off (tho I suppose I may need to anyway) Is there a drawback to having something there holding the space? |

Gosh...this site is getting slower by the day... Anyway, rear upper isolators are the OEM rubber doughnuts on top of the rear springs. You can add 2 per side, so 3 in total (if needed). On the front you can do a clevis lift and top plates (the shims you can put on top of the coilover). Does that help? |

Okay thanks a lot for clearing that up. How much does an extra isolator in the rear bring it up? from what i read, the clevis is 3/8, but doubles it and brings it up 6/8. is the same true for the rear? im looking for a level ride since i rarely tow. |

I think the rear lifts as you space it. I am even all around and am putting 1 inch LTT spacer and 3\8 boiler + 2 or so conduit nuts to keep me level. |

from what I've been told for every isolator you gain half an inch in the back. |

Then you didn't tighten the clevis enough. |
