i live in florida so the only thing that i have to worry about is sand
and mud. i havent went offroading but with new engine SoA and some
35in tires id like to, but it will be 80 high way use and 20 % offroad
use. also i cant make up my mind should i stick with the 5 n an half
inches of lift that SoA gives me of get 2 more inches from leafsprings?

 

5-1/2" is a BIG lift for highway use.

In FL, the only thing I'd run is mudders. No way I'd use ATs. All it
takes is the first time stuck to make it worthwhile.

Stick with mud tires for the mud and sand, probably the BFG Muds.

Roy, I ran 10" of lift in my YJ on the highway with 33's and had no issues.
It was also SOA.
