well here is my newest mod as of to day cost me a case of beer and i had to do a brake job but 2hrs work and $20 it was originally going to cost me a $100 to buy it but i sweet talked the guy into letting me rebuild his drums on his 14 bolt and berr instead and  i think i got a hell of a deal  now all i need to do is french in a reciver hitch and make some supports for the rear crossmember and it is good to go

Hey Adam,

How much lift did you get with the stock waggy front springs?
I'm still not sure whether I go with a SOA with the waggy front springs, (will I be too high for 35's) or stay SUA with 4.5" lift springs....

Hey Adam,

with 1.25" lift shackles and 7 pack waggy fronts with the bottom 2 leaves removed i have 29" (11 inches over stock) to the bottom of the rocker i am going to reduce the hieght by 2"-3" by reworking all my spring mounts and my fronnt shock mounts with the way i am setup i can run 40's and have 5" of up travle at the tire i am happy how every thing rides nice an smooth but i do need to be lower so i am going to run a 1/2 lift shackle and redo the frame side mounts front waggy springs are suposed to be 1"-2" of lift over stock yj my springs are flat so the lift i am getting is from the soa and the shackles i am looking to only get about 4"-6" of lift max and right now i am about 7"-8" including the 1" body (not going away i need it for the flat skid)

my over all opinion is to go soa (i will never have a sua jeep again) what little i have driven my jeep on the street it is a vast improvement over sua when it is properly setup and the steering linkage is flat you will need to go high steer to accomplish this and have a really good set of shocks you will not have a better ride and a lot more flex than sua

I just got back from the break in run on a local rutted out road over all i am very impressed with my jeep it handled very well it drove an hour to the trail at 65 tracked perfectly straight and had no death wobble or bump steer i have noticed it is a little top heavy but i will fix thatby lowering the jeep 2" i need to rework the front shock mounts and French the upper mount into the frame and lean the shocks toward the motor Because at full FLex the tires rub the shocks the extra wheel base is awesome i had no problems doing hill climbs i could not do before and my only real problems was my approach angle i will either need to do a shackle reverseal or add more wheel base to improve it both of which add a lot of problems unto them selves most i will most likely do both by adding another set of toyota springs to the front and i need the usual gears and lockers bigger tires and to convert to true  high steer

your jeep seems to change suspension height once a month. It goes up and down. Up to fix one issue, down to fix another. But I gotta hand it to you Adam, your determined, and it sounds like its starting to pay off.
