What did you do front and rear again? I'm sorry I got my butt handed to me in the last 20 min of work tonight and I'm kinda fried. |

BMX, do you think he'd get another inch in the front from a clevis lift + extra top plate? Of course, if above 3 inches of lift in front, JBA's A-arms would be needed to align. Good pics of clevis lift here: http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=79401 |

You can get a little over an inch if done right. 1/4" top plate = 1/2" of lift. Then a 3/8" clevis will add 3/4" of lift. That's why most will get 3.5" of lift out of OME and those when broken in. First installed it puts you up close to 4". Edit: I think someone with a KJ used to make and sell 3/8" top plates. That's always an option if he had the means to do it. I don't think you can go much bigger than the 3/8" top plate though. |

Jba arms, ironman spring and struts, 1/2 Clevis ... But after thinking about it they seemed more like 3/8 ..., I checked my order and it said 1/2 Could I use 2 plates on top or maybe 1 plate and an 1/8 inch washer and maybe squeak anothe 1/8 Clevis in |

Front sway bar links and brake lines won't change with any height (unless a cradle drop is involved). Most you can use is 1 top plate per side. With ironman you can go with a 1/2" clevis to make up for the slightly less height they give. If you have a 3/8" clevis now you can go get the 2" conduit nut to gain an extra 1/8" of clevis. Make that clevis a 1/2" spacer and add the top plate so you have 3.5" of lift in front. You have 4" rear springs, right? |
