reptile610:
i never tried on it. the guy who i bought it from said you had to pump them for them to work so therefore i didn't even try.
reptile610:
also i lied about doing the body work as it will start getting cold and i don't want the paint to get messed up. so going to do all the mechanic work as of now.
reptile610:
should i do a SOA conversion or just lift it? im reading alot of mixed reviews on it because it makes it kinda unsafe and ride like crap afterwards

You need to know what you are doing to do a SOA conversion. It can be done to work well, but you have to be precise. For what you are doing I would stick with just a lift kit. My 86 CJ7 had a 4" spring lift with a 1" body lift and I ran 35s with no problem. Good shackles that allow for movement also helps with the articulation, but I'm not a fan of the boomerang shackles. I ran then for one run to the Badlands and the back end unloaded on me down a steep hill.
