I don't have any pics yet as I've been putting in some long hours at work, and it's been quite rainy. Anyway, even after the lift, my front end is about an inch lower than the back end. I was really hoping the kit would level off the Jeep, but it didn't. I've been reading about the clevis lift, and it looks like a rather simple solution to bringing it up to level. How hard would it be for a relatively non-mechanically inclined person (me) to do this procedure on my own? Should I attempt it myself, or should I see if the shop that installed the lift would do it for me?

Its not too hard, you just need the tools to do so. Not sure if doing a clevis lift with the replacement rk clevis fork is advisable though. Another option is the top plate, giving you about 5/8" more lift. That's more work though. Either way your gonna need another alignment afterwards.

I was wondering about that after I posted, so I'm glad you brought that up. As for the top plate, I've given that some thought as well, but that one, in my case, is probably is best left to a true mechanic. Thx!
