Lift faq: Read before asking questions!

Ok, read thru all 8 pages. What is the best front kit/parts to just level the front with the factory rear level?

If you read into more post you would understand why everyone does all four corners and not just the fronts. The easy answer is there isn't, not to do it correctly.

Clevis lift, about 3/8 inch is what I used one mine until I went big

Might need a top plate as well if it's really sloped.

Yeah true, mine had less than 25k

All true but the springs will still stack on it and ride bad but it will sit more level.

Great stuff! Thanks.

Most get 2" conduit nuts from Home Depot or someplace like that & put them on the bottom of the shock - more to get accurate spacing than anything else. If the clevis bolt is torqued to spec it won't slip - but conduit nuts give you peace of mind.

Does anyone have a link for home Depot for these conduit nuts? Just wanna make sure I get the right ones.

Hey y'all. Imma be honest, I'm new to 4x4 modifications. I have only really dealt with engines. I'm on JAB right now looking at front struts and rear shocks/coils for my 07 gas kj. The largest lift I'm seein is only 1.5". This may be a stupid question, but what can I add to get more lift? Or am I looking at the wrong things? If so can someone direct me?

Advertised for insurance purposes in Australia is the 1.5 inches
OME gives you 2.5/ Ironman 2.25
Please do some reading on here and LOSTJEEPs regarding lifts and all will be explained

Alright. Read through all this. Still have a few questions. First, in regards to my previous question, do you mean that JBA says they give 1.5" but in reality they give 2.25 and 2.5?

Second, what is UCA?

Third, what is an ISO? And am I correct to assume that it gives a little lift? If so, can you stack them? Limit?

Can you use clevis spacers and top plates on the back or are they just for the front? Can you stack those? Limit?

I'm really just looking for some quick, straight answers rather than reading through page after page of this forum.

UCA- Upper control arm

Iso- isolator. Used on the rear or top of back springs. I believe 2 is considered safe limit

Clevis spacer goes in between clevis and front "strut"/shock. 1/2" max but that depends on setup.

Top plate goes on top of front spring/"strut"/shock in between the body. 1/4" max.

:icon_lol:Oh well no one reads to learn anymore
Clevis/ top plate only on front if using both you will need JBA upper control arms as well
Can not stack clevis or top plates
You can stack or add two extra per side UPPER isolators in the rear for more lift
AS MENTIONED BEFORE advertised height is 1.5 inches due to insurance reasons BUT you get what I wrote before
JBA does not say 1.5 inches OME does
