WyoCherokee Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 OK i am at a serious debacle here. i am planning on 285's and 4.5 to 5.5" high. Do i stay Spring Under and go with Hell Creek 4.5 leafs and shackles, Or do i go ahead and do a full Spring Over swap. part of me wants to go Spring over, but the other half wants to stay SUA and just do a u-bolt flip for nostalgic reasons. I already have the front coils springs and shocks for either setup. I look at how many SUA YJ's are out there clammoring through the woods with no issues aside from poor wheel placement. I don't do anything crazy, aside form the occasional Moab Trip or trail runs. This is the worst we see in our mountains...this is a SUA YJ for reference. over in the Black Hills and here in the bighorns. He gets hung up occasionally but mostly due to poor wheel placement and open diffs.
Eagle Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 What's "nostalgic" about staying spring-under with non-factory springs and a U-bolt flip?
Dzimm Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 I was in the same situation as you with mine. I've decided to stay SUA with the 4.5" lift just due to the amount of work that will go into it. As of now I have way too many other things going on and don't really have the time to "build" the axle into a SOA. It's going to be much quicker and simpler to just do a lift and stay SUA.
shelbyluvv Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 SOA rides and flexes better than SUA. I am at 4.5" with a SUA on 265s and they rub up front when I disco the sway bar.
