Help!! Clevis lift

[evilmonkey]

Im trying to do my clevis lift and when I was loosing up the clevis the weight of the spring made the strut go down even further and its resting on the clevis and I cant make it budge. How do I raise the strut to do the lift. any suggestions or pictures would be graetly appreciated(dunno)

It the Jeep on jackstands with the tires unsupported. Are both tires off? Did you loosen both sides clevis bolts?

Where do you have the jack stands? I suggest along the "frame rails" so the lower control arm can be lowered (drooped out.) Think of it as pushing the clivis down and not trying to push the strut/springs up, that wont work unless you apply enough lbs of pressure to compress the spring.

Ive got the driver side tire off, Jack on the frame with two jack stands. I have the clevis bolt disconnected from the top and the bottom. I have the strut where it shoul be at stock level but the clevis wont drop any more??(dunno)

Try disconnecting the sway bar links, this will let the LCA swing down more with pressure from you, by prying down on the LCA with a 3-4 foot pry bar.
