Tom, no disrespect but I can literally find the posts where you spoke about lifting a crd with HD ome shocks and springs w/ a Clevis and top plate :

This is all research. I bought my crd kj lifted with the rockfather 2.
For maximum lift to fit 32inches:
Front options: OME 2790 + 1/4 top plate & 3/8 top plate or Bilstein 5100 @ 1.5
Rear options: OME 2948 or [(ironman JEEP015B / Monroe 58649) + 1.5" steel spacer]
Extended bump stops...
I concede on the Clevis. I hear you about the added stress, I’ll take my chances with it. If it doesn’t do what I want I can always go back and add the isolators; I don’t use Facebook unless you’re using ‘fakebook’ as a catch all term to refer to sources that arent approved by you and the...
Of course I’ve been told ‘no’ , but as an adult speak to another adult, I tend to dismiss people who just say no without explanation.
and yeah the 5100s were designed with Stock springs in mind, but they can be used with non stock springs. Many people are running 5100s with OME springs on MANY...
I’m aware that springs provide a significantly heaping amount of the lift, but the rear shocks can provide lift if greater than factory size: https://www.jeepkj.com/threads/monroe-load-adjusting-shocks-installed.56297/
this person found that just adding the Monroe’s gained them .5” alone...
Okay that sounds like a plan;
******** with me real quick tho: is the Clevis lift require structurally?
what if I ran bilstein 5100s in the front at the lowest setting of 1”. Should give me 3.5” of lift with the HD spring (about .25” more than with the 4600 and clevis). Will that extra .25...
Idk 4 seemed like the number required for 33s but since you said 33s would never fit then I’m not married a 4” lift. So with a 3 inch I can comfortable run 32s?
Okay that alleviates my fear of the lift dropping with extra weight. So then my question is, what do i have to do to accomplish 4 inches of lift on a CRD? I would very much not like to accomplish it with any lift spacers?
also i don't quite understand the need to regear lower. From my reading...
Those are not KJ specific springs. They are for a different vehicle. But I’m of the assumption they are interchangeable (will fit). I’m not planning on changing the gearing. Diesel should have enough torque and I’m chasing more mpgs than performance. And I know 4” lift kits are no more I’m...
Hey Guys, I'm stuck between deciding on buying a WK or KJ both diesel versions. I want to fit either 32/33x12.5R15s on the KJ or 32/33/35x12.5R17s on the WK (if i can i might even try to run 15 inch rims on the WK with a large negative offset to clear the brakes). With your knowledge, which...
