ok i went and got some alum. rings cut to do a "clevis" lift that from what i read will give me about 1" of lift with a 3/8" spacer?
got the material and the cut for free i can cut the center
i cant find info how ever that shows just how an upper strut spacer would fit?
from looking at the KJ it looks like all i need is a spacer and longer bolts?
if thats the case and we want to get about another 3/4 to maby 1" could i get the same guy to cut me a pcs of 3/4" material maby the same alum as the spacer dubbled up and get a spacer lift that would still keep the KJ parking garge friendly but not look like a low rider?
and if i did this would i net about 1.75" of lift but keep the factory ride?
would this kill ubj's and lbj's?
if it would work then just a spacer for the rear? from where?
i would of corse add length to the front and rear bumpstops that is easy
to do a clevis lift i will need a spring compressor but what about a spacer on top?are the struts assembled on a bech and the put in the jeep or is the compressor needed to remove the strut?


as most folks can tell i am a cheep b@#$*&d ad would rather save $ and build it my self then go out and pay some other shmo to do what i could do for 1/10 the price
