Ok so long story short, have not talked to my brother in a long while. Talking today he and his buddies have TJs. He was always an old school car guy, but once cars got fancy that all stopped. He said they mess with their jeeps every other weekend. So we get to talking about me wanting to install a lift on mine. He said they did 2 lifts on TJs in the last year or so. So he thinks we could get it done. I know its not the same, but with him having the tools and location I think we can do this and not have to pay somebody else.

Now I want to get the basic OME lift HD front, MD rear with L shocks. With this will my jeep be level or do I need to add a clevis to the front? Im not planning on adding arm or top plates and all that right now. But want the jeep level and not nose down like it is stock.

What will this net me on lift with just the base OME springs and shocks?

Will get you about 2.25 inches of lift from new stock height after settling in , more depending on how much your's has sagged so far.
As far as level you'll need to add 1/4 inch clevis or so to make it level

Here is a picture of the exact setup you are interested in.
Pretty close to level.
Just OME HD front, MD rear, and L shocks.

Honestly, the KK's body seems to have a natural rake to it. I find the extra 1/4" up front or so like Tom said helps make it look more level.
