Hi everyone,

I bought a used CRD that had a lift already and have some questions.

1. What kind of lift do you suppose this is? My best guess is a JBA.
2. Has anyone bent a clevis like this before? What did you do to fix it?
3. Has anyone had any experience with JBA customer service? (if this in fact is a JBA kit)

The pictures are of the drivers side (straight) and passenger side bent.

Thanks in advance for your help! If I oversaw a similar post can you please post a link.

I think you have a bigger problem than just the clevis. If that is a JBA lift marlin is a awesome dude but I see one problem. You personally didn't buy the lift so warranties really don't transfer. I can't tell by those pictures what exact lift it is.

Was going to say this. Must have been one heck of a ride. How did the rest of the Jeep hold up? No bent frame rails or damaged strut mounts?

I was following on a dusty road and knew where the road was but couldn't see much of the road in front of me. I hit a really big dip/hole and it bucked the jeep. Nothing else seems to be off. Alignment is still true and no vibrations. My cargo was just shifted all over the place.

Its a JBA, insurance should pay for the , wasn't fault of the lift itself.
No other part can be used except for the JBA clevis on the adjustable coilover, he'll sell one or maybe send one

WAIT after relooking at what you had posted the shock itself will need to be replaced . Bottom of the shock screws down into the clevis
So new shock and clevis
