Re: Spring over questions
Which I believe I was able to skid over rocks, rather being caught
by that straight across tube without any lead.

Re: Spring over questions
Carl Replied....
..I'm not sure what 'steering linkage problems' you were referring to, but
with both SOA and SUA, eventually hi-steer will be required to get the tie
rod out of the way and get the drag link paralell to the axle. The same
holds true for every Jeep out there.
well Carl, if you were to have read your first response to this thread, the
one I copied and pasted to your last reply, you would have understood exactly
what I was referring to.
By the way, I don't need a one inch body lift to clear 33's or 35's.....and I
don't think I want anything bigger than 35's on a Jeep anyway....just me
personally....I just feel bigger tires need more gearing and motor than I'm
willing to go for....
If I want bigger tires, I'd probbably go buy an old ford bronco where
everything was already done RIGHT from the factory....

cost me for a shop to do my soa the correct way about 2600.. fixen all
stairing issues and such. i have had no problem and it has the same

Re: Spring over questions
that sounds perfect Jon,
I am not at all against a SOA, its just that (my interpretation) Carl seemed
to believe that a SOA was a cheap easy way to go, and my point I'm trying to
make to him is that it's not as quick, simple and easy as he thinks....doing
a quickie SOA leave someone open to all kinds of problems...that may not
appear right away, but when they do, oh boy!! I say, if your going to do a
SOA, do it right. Thats all.
Thanks
