Ok, I'm sure some one will chime in as to how tall I went with the clevis lift. I put 20 mm of Clevis lift reason I went 20 mm is because once I got under there i moved the strut out and put one heavy duty conduit nut (it was 10 mm). I noticed there was STILL a lot of the strut in the Clevis. after installing a second heavy duty nut there was about 3/4 of the strut still in the clevis.
I got just shy of an inch out of the front.

It took about an hour to do both sides. Me and 2 of my friends got it done. jacked up the sub frame took off the wheel removed UBJ bolt, upper and lower clevis bolts. took a BFH and knocked the ball joint lose once that cam off the clevis dropped right out of the way. when re-installing the Clevis it took my 2 buds to push the LCA down so I could slide the Clevis back together.


NOTE TO ALL... the UBJ and lower clevis bolts are NOT the same thread pattern.

0.375" is safe for the Clevis. And make sure you get an alignment!

Are you sure you were at 19 before? If you added that much clevis you should of gotten more lift than that. If at 19 before you like you stated you should of ended up at 20.25-20.5 , that is if 20 mm is equal to .787 inches. Any clevis or top plate you add doubles the amount of whatever you are using
