HI -

The YJ kit provides approximately 6 1/2" - depending upon spring condition when installed in a SPOA configuration.

My recollection is that it didn't raise the rear any. My previous suspension was rears up front and CJs w/missing links in the rear. All I remember is that my rear end sat 1.5 inches lower than the front when I was "finished" with making the YJ conversion. I lengthened the rear shackles by 2 inches and put 1/2" blocks in also.

I would think that block would tear up those YJ's. How many leaves were in your YJ pack for the front/rear?

what kind of axles do you have? Bet you couldn't hardley go around a corner with out breaking a stock zuk axle on 38's. 8^)

From what I remember, the CSC kit gave me about 4 inches or so front and rear (5 leaf front/4 leaf rear) when I first put it on in a spua configuration. I've since gained another 5-6 inches spring over with a 6 leaf rear pack.

I got about 1.5" of lift using a mix of 2.5" Pro Comp YJs and stock YJs leafs, this is over the 2" Calmini front with stock leafs and a rear set stock leafs with a add-a-leaf.

I am interested in which add a leaf you used. I have had a few ideas lately about a bastardized rear spring pack.....

I was running a '59 T-bird rear add-a-leaf on the stock zuk pack.
here is a pic of the current YJ set up on 33"s. Gots plenty of room now!!
