But then all he has to do is keep adding more spacers. Once the coils are finally compressed against each other, they will stop sagging. :happy175:

Yeah but then he can get those polyurethane rubber things and twist them into the coils:happy175:

Just use 2" conduit nuts for the clevis spacer(maybe $2 worth). Save your money on other stuff.
Or save even more money and just measure since the conduit nut/spacer does not actually hold anything. You can leave the space empty and just measure how far down you want and tighten. That is all the clevis spacer/conduit nut does is offer a form of measurement.

Not a spacer fan??Maybe confusing some terms here as to best way to lift etc.
A " spacer" to do a clevis lift is in no way making your Jeep unsafe to drive. If so I'd have a lot of ticked off people for sure! ( plus 100s of others out there would be in trouble as well .
More like the body lifts by inserting the spacers which makes the vehicle top heavy. Yes I am ignorant in terms. I am still learning and read what you and others put and still learning. I guess just saying "spacers" is too broad of a term i guess.

Wait, you're concerned about raising the center of gravity, yet you have a lift kit and taller tires? I'm cornfused.
Top heavy with a low center of gravity (body lift) compared to a raised center of gravity with the suspension lift. Two different things which the lift with the suspension does change the center, but i believe is safer than just a body lift. Plus with the wider tires, and the wheel spacers to widen the stances makes a different in my opinion.
Sir,I'm certain many here would like to see/ hear about "body lift" on a Liberty! Unlike a CJ and similar, Libs are unibody! NO FRAME to lift the body up from. No matter wether heavy springs/longer struts, or simple spacers between suspension components,,,,,,,, they're ALL suspension lifts.

^ Yeah that. Although all suspension lifts also raises the body. 
A "body lift" is spacers between the body and a full frame, which we don't have. ANYTHING you do, be it lift springs, top spacers, clevis spacers, taller tires, they all raise the Jeep's center of gravity.

Can't do a body lift on a Unibody. I don't think anyone suggested anything about a body lift. Plus side is, you no longer have to worry about that now.
As far as doing a suspension lift, you are changing the center of gravity and making it top heavy. You may think you are not, but you are. That is why people say to only get the lift size you need.
Just remember, don't focus on the word "spacer" or you will get lost easily. Focus on what the spacer is for.. Spring spacers = bad .... Clevis spacer = just fine ... body spacer = doesn't exist since it's a unibody ... wheel spacer = we won't go in to lol
The key is the first word before spacer.
It's very good to ask these things though. To many people just run out and put a horrible lift on their vehicle or add things they shouldn't without ever asking and finding out what is bad and what is okay.

A lift from the clevis isn't bolting anything on. Loosen the top bolt on the clevis, pry the bottom of the spring perch and the clevis away from each other AT MOST 3/8", then re-bolt everything nice and tight.
