I know its kind of a long shot, but I figured I would ask before I buy new. I currently have CJ springs on it, but would be willing to make the simple conversion if someone has YJ springs.
WTB: 4in leaf springs for a CJ or YJ

Better go for 4-inch lift springs for 35s. I’m running 2.5-inch springs with 33s and tube fenders and I get a lot of rubbing in front.
-
i think i might have 2 springs if u want to see if they will work. U ussualy need 5" of lift for 35s or u r cutting fenders. A little bl helps.

Ok, I must have 2.5 in springs on there now. Thanks for the info, I'll change my original post to 4in springs.
-
Why not go sprung over with stock YJ springs?
-
I have a pair of RE 2.5" Lift Fronts. They are YJ width,

I have never gone spring over, never really thought about it. I'll look into it. Thanks deadfeat, I'll keep that in mind.

I am sprung over with YJ beefed up springs. I think I have 6 leafs per leaf pack.

This is for the street Jeep, so I am looking for a nice smooth ride. I did a quick Google search and it looks like the soa would involve new drive shafts and steering mods, not sure I want to go that far yet. I may just do a small shackle lift to make myself feel good until I'm ready to rip into a bigger project. Im in the middle of a cam swap and 4:1 kit on the crawler....trying to get it done so I can get back out on the trails soon.

Oh for a street Jeep you definitely don't want SOA. Any lifted spring will ride stiff. Skyjacker would be good for the street because they are soft. But they will sag. I used to run a 2" Skyjacker and 1" body lift. Had to add a YJ leaf to the rear to level it out. Road nice though. Probably a bit too flexy.

john i think u r backward, spring over lift will be much better then a spring under for comfort. When soa u can use a stock or low arc spring that will be much softer then a high arched spring in a sua. If u do go soa i reccomend a ln antiwrap bar. It will reduce axle wrap and save the softer springs.
The work is probably worth it to go soa in the long run.

Having run both, my old spring under was better. Of course those were Skyjackers and my wheelbase is shorter.
