I am currently running a spring over with stock YJ springs on Toy axles. I was wondering if a set of 35" Claws would fit with this setup.

Also, I found real good deal on a set of Superlift 3.5" YJ springs. Would this be enough to be able to put 35s under my Sammy and can anyone tell me how they will perform in the way of flex and ride.

Thanks

Depends in how far your front axle is pushed forward. The height will be fine with stock springs.
Don't use lifted springs, unless you want to clear 39's and have no flex while you're at it.

I have yj leafs with my front axle moved forward about 2" and the rear axle back about 4", I run 33" boggers with no problem. If the claws are a true 35" your going to want more lift if you wheel it hard. I would go with trailtoughs missing links front and rear. that should give you enough for a 35. If you actually want it to flex do not put on lifted or rearched springs.

If you want it to be flexy, use stock yj springs. I running stock yj springs in my front SOA with the front shackle angle looking like its just about straight. This creates alot of droop. The 3.5 are a stiff set of springs and the sammi really doesnt have the weight to make the perform

Do you know how much more lift you have with the shackle reversal than some one with a RRO YJ conversion would have? If I'm close enough that all I would have to do is get a set of extented YJ shackles, I would probably get them. If I have to completely redo my suspension I'll probably just run 33s.

Thanks for all the help.

I run yj springs with the rro kit, and I fit 35's just fine. The rear tires rub a little, but some bumpstop work, or longer shackles could probably take care of that. I'm just going to cut my fenders a little.

my 35" claws are about 33.5"-34" tall, I think they will fit on your sammy with maybe a little shackle lift. I'll sell you my claws if you want....
