Anyone willing to measure the Clevis

I want to find out if the KK clevis is actually longer then the KJ. Would anyone mind measuring theirs...

Thanks

It's an inch longer than the KJ. It does bolt right up to a KJ front strut assembly though.

Thanks RL, so would that mean an inch of lift if it was to be used on the KJ or would it be even higher?

well if you use a clevis lift of say 1/4 inch you get double that (1/2 inch) so I would think it would be the same, so with that thought using a stock suspension you would get about 2 inches, cheap lift for sure, or wait how much are they for a pair??????

I called jeep and they quoted me 61 a piece. not bad for potentially 2 inches of lift along with 2.5 from the coil. we are still talking under a grand and then spend the money on the reel shortened CV's. I don't know, just thinking.

interesting thinking, KK clevis, OME coil no spacers, mmmm

4 inch of lift using only those two components

but you would still need Als a-arms, right?

Sounds like a good idea. Not a bad price for $61/each ($122/pair). Probably would have to shave the stock CV axles or get JE Reels axles.

I am keeping it on the back burner for right now. I am looking to upgrade my spacer in the front to full coil. Once I get that done I am going to start to play a little.

would like to mock it up with just OME springs and the KK clevis, also with Als arms see where it would sit, someone send me a set and I will try it. can have them on there in 45 minutes or less :roll:

I'm sure, but depending on how they look getting them off may not be so easy...
