In less than a month i'm installing a Rusty's coil lift and doing a clevis lift. Im putting 3 conduit nuts under each strut and for the rear do i need 1 or 2 extra spring isolators? I want the KJ to be LEVEL not raked like it is in stock form. I just want to install it and be done. thanks!

oh and Al's a-arms going on also, so spring contact wont be an issue.

It may be just a tad higher in the rear WITH the clevis lift. Ive got the shorter OME HD springs on the rear with the Rustys lift on the front and two conduit nuts for the clevis lift and its perfectly level.

Be sure you dont have any upper balljoint contact with the three conduit nuts. Many people use 3 and its fine, but I believe it depends on how the coils are turned. :)

do you have any extra spring isolators installed in the rear? I'm getting Al's a-arms for the front so spring contact wont be an issue.

You find them in the electrical section of your hardware store.

Nope, I do not have any on the rear...Just the springs. :)

This link (http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=17158&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15)contains some pics of my 04 with three conduit nuts and two additional sets of spring isolators.

Since you want a level ride, you definitely don't want more than one extra set, and may not want any at all.

Mine levels out pretty good now when I tow, when the hitch basket is full, or when I've got a full cargo area. Plus I don't mind a little pitch forward.
