NO WAY you can get 2 inches of lift from clevis / top plate and extra iso's
unless you're creating a disaster

3/8 inch top plate =3/4 of an inch
1/4 inch top plate =1/2 inch
neither will give you a full inch
rear iso's give you 1/2 inch for each upper used, two is the most you can use so 1 inch is it
Don't try and BS a BSer

haha. Not trying to "bs". lol. I did get a full inch out of my clevis lift tho. i have not done the rest yet. all i was saying is that i will have close to 2" in the front "1 3/4" and i didnt say anything about the back. all i was saying was that my kj took wery well to the clevis lift. i do understand that i wont get 2 full inches of lift. it should still be a noticeable amount of lift on the cheap.

Didnt we end up using daystar spacers too? Oh and tom, took miss libby out in the woods yesterday, the iron man and ome parts ride amazing off road, nice and smooth. Just have a little knock coming from the beat lbj on the front passenger side. Other then that no complaints what so ever. Kept crashing through the frozen over puddles so skids might be moving up my priority list lol

Just updated my girl with a pair of OME 926's and some new Bilstein shocks; spaced the clevis a bit too. Running 22.5 inches up front currently. Need to freshen up the rear now; it's still sitting at 21 inches.
