CEThomas Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 How much did everyone get with the SOA??? With a broken #3 leaf on both sides of the 2wd springs we need 7-8" on the front to level it out :chillin: Was looking for 4-5" with it but got a lot more :eek: Looking great but sure is going to be a lot more time & $$$ to finish.

warf90 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I also had broken springs when I lifted mine. With the new springs and SOA, mine netted about 8" of lift. I installed some XJ rear shackles and it dropped it about 1". Did a front 6" spring with a spacer and its pretty level. Its also higher than I wanted to be running 33X12.50 tires. Hopefully over time my rear springs will lose some of the arch and settle out a little lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Most report in the neighborhood of 5-5.5". It's the combined height of the OD of the axletube plus the height of the perch, if you reuse your existing springs. If you replace damaged/sagged springs with new ones, you also have to add in that height difference as well. I just replaced my sagged out 2WD leafpacks with a good set of 4WD packs (still SUA) and all new eye bushings, and got a good 3". If I would SOA, add 5" to that and I'd probably be somewhere around 7.5-8". Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEThomas Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Going to build the spring packs in a week or two, so I will know if I gain more. Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
