Raise dzen2 above all clients

I use DWM as my window manager and I have decided I no longer desire the status bar that DWM provides, so I hid it. I would, however, like to keep my dzen2 status. My only problem is finding out how to raise dzen2 above all clients. I looked through the documentation and I found that the action "raise" should do the trick, but it doesn't. Here is my dzen2 startup line:

(sleep 0s && conky | dzen2 -e 'onstart=raise' -fg '#dcdcdc' -bg '#1d1d1d' -ta l -fn '-artwiz-lime-*-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' -p ) &

Anyone know how I can raise dzen above the client windows?

Re: Raise dzen2 above all clients

Dzen2 stays above clients when I toggle the DWM statusbar with mod+b
My startup line looks like this:

(sleep 5s && conky -c ~/.config/conky/rc | dzen2 -x '714' -e '' -fg '#9a9a9a' -bg '#262626' -w '650' -ta r -    fn '-*-terminus-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' -p | while read -r; do xsetroot -name "$REPLY"; done) &
