2 inch conduit lock nuts? Would these be my clevis lift?

That's what I used, not sure if Home Depot only sells them in 50 or not, but Lowes sells them in packs of 2 i believe if you don't want to buy so many

You can also just use a vernier caliper to space the clevis.
The conduit nut are not really necessary.

RyN7, so your saying lossen it, measure out some space and tighten it back down?

Yes.

I ran like that for over a year and the shocks do not sag back or anything.

i understand how the front is lifted more with these conduits, but how is rear compensated? something about isolators but i have no idea what those are... :banghead:

Not putting spacers in is a bad Idea, I tried that.... It Slipped. For the 1$ a piece you may as well buy them. You are going to end up level with the rear, only add a extra Rear Iso if you want to get a slight Rake (Nose down effect)

Well, sure sounds easier then taking the clevis all the way off (tho I suppose I may need to anyway)

Is there a drawback to having something there holding the space?

I think thats for gassers, with my CRD it sits perfectly level now, but im also not at the highest i could be with a CRD. i think i can go about an inch higher(mine settled after some twisties and about 1500 miles) and was wondering if i could do the clevis in front, and something in the back to bring it up some more.

Gosh...this site is getting slower by the day...

Anyway, rear upper isolators are the OEM rubber doughnuts on top of the rear springs. You can add 2 per side, so 3 in total (if needed).

On the front you can do a clevis lift and top plates (the shims you can put on top of the coilover).

Does that help?

Okay thanks a lot for clearing that up. How much does an extra isolator in the rear bring it up? from what i read, the clevis is 3/8, but doubles it and brings it up 6/8. is the same true for the rear? im looking for a level ride since i rarely tow.

I think the rear lifts as you space it. I am even all around and am putting 1 inch LTT spacer and 3\8 boiler + 2 or so conduit nuts to keep me level.

from what I've been told for every isolator you gain half an inch in the back.

It slipped?
Then you didn't tighten the clevis enough.
