Considering a few options:

2.5" Skyjacker
2.5" Procomps
Stock wranglers w/add a leaf

What do you want out of this suspension? What size tires do you want to run?

pro comps??:barf: Definitly dont go with those!@!! I've got some Rubicon Express extreme duty's with 2.5" of lift on my SOA. They've worked pretty good. nice ride and good flex.

I guess stock wranglers with add a leaf are a bad idea?

Just have heard that doing that will make them almost as stiff as the procomps. I am not a big fan either but I would like to retain some arc in the leaves.

How bout ranchos? good survival rate?

BDS is a nice spring. But it is a 3.5" spring. that is alot in SOA. How big you want to go? i plan to use my BDS 3.5's in an SOA as soon as i got some cash, and find a way to pass NJ inspection.

If you can get ahold of some 4 inch lift springs, use those and mix them in with some stock, thats what i did and flexs GREAT!!!! and hasnt saged.

i think bds makes a 2.5 for the yjs also. i ran the 3.5s in the yj and loved them. i am still running the bds 3.5yj in the front, but im running 4 ich waggy front springs from bds in the rear. you may want to consider running waggy springs all around do a search on waggy springs

Last time I checked I had 2" BDS springs sitting under the front of my truck :rolleyes: I agree though they are good springs, they have held up well for me (i only got a few months of wheeling before I parked my truck :( ) Definatly need a traction bar on the back or you will sag them out for sure
