Ok I'm a Newbie to Pirates4x4 not Jeeps so don't flame me.
OK I have a 3.5 superlift on my YJ does anyone else have this setup and how much have you lost in lift because of sagging.

I had it on my 95 YJ for 4 years and never noticed any sagging. It rode like poop, but I think the shocks (ProComp 3000's) were the main cause of that. No sagging though, at least nothing I could tell.

I have had the Superlift 3.5 on my YJ for about 7 months and while it hasnt sagged or anything, i have broken 3 Spring Centering pins on my rear springs (yes my ubolts are tight) and bent my front passenger spring.
The lift rides nice and flexes great (for sua) but i am not sold on its ruggedness!

Oh and for a Newbie <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">
BTW, i just ripped out the rear and did a SOA and the fronts will be coming out soon too!

I had the 2.5 superlift softride sua for about 3 years. The ride was good. Didnt notice much sagging maybe 1/2 in. or so. They dont have any teflon pad between the spring and have the crappy pinch down clamps, but I opened those up and put anti-seize between the leafs and it made a big difference. Smoother ride, better flex. They are soa now. I've only wheeled it hard 5 or 6 times. They have sagged a little in back and I bent the bottom leaf slightly in the rear from axle wrap. The rears dont flex as much as I would like, but I am impressed with the flex in the front. I plan to swap them out for longer springs soon. For the money when I bought them 5 years ago, I feel they were a good deal. Not the best, but I've seen much worse.
Just my .02

I have the 3 1/2" superlift on mine. it was spring under for about 1 year and then i went spring over with them. thay now ride great and they flex well. as for sag they have settled a little but not too much.I did add a long leaf from a rancho 2 1/2" pack to the front springs to make up for the winch.
