A few of you guys have done the clevis lift.
I'm wanting to know what you used as a spacer for it?
Thinking about raising the front a bit more. 10-15mm perhaps. :lol:

Normally you use a cutoff section of pipe. just larger than the bottom of the strut. It needs to be nice and snug.


Up in the front ed, you'll want to go up in the back too :D

Sounds like an easy DIY.

Thanks Chris.

I think I'll follow this for a 'floating' clevis lift.

Have not done this yet, but it's a 2:1 ratio.
So I need to lift about 6mm at the clevis to get my 12mm lift.

How can I raise the rear? Spring packers?
I need atleast 2.5" lift to shoe horn 32" tyres in :lol:
Currently sitting around 2" lift.

Just get some coil packers, they usually use the TJ ones and cut the hole in the middle a little bigger to suit the KJ. I have 2 packers in the back of mine to keep me level with the front end.
