All depends if your almost an expert at getting the front set up properly.
80% are not that is why theirs rides like shit. It seems a cheap way to go but it will cost you more than a quality lift kit in the end.

I never went SOA. I always kept my rig SUA with 4" Skyjacker leafs. 1" body lift, and a belly up skid. I ran 36" Irok's for the longest time. i just recently went up to 39.5"s TSL's, but I am linked up front now and still SUA in the rear.

When I was SUA all around it handled fine on the road. I even took the sway bar out and track bars front and rear.

just coin up for the proper sterring, about $700 should do it

^Don't listen to this guy^
Steering issues need to be addressed when running SOA.

Why do you want SOA?

My last YJ was SOA, all done right, I have the pics to prove it. D44s, BTF hi-steer arms, 1-ton steering, all proper geometry. And while it would do highway speeds on its own if I ever had to make an evasive manuever It would probably veer out of control quite quickly. The suspensions if done right are just too soft, same thing with 4-linked coil rigs. I had a deer jump out infront of me one day and I had to slam on the brakes (upgraded discs and MC btw so it could lock up my 37s) and naturally having such a soft suspension the front end dove and was all over the place almost to the point where I had to fight to keep it inbetween the lines.

You don't want SOA for a daily driven rig. They can drive fine on the street, they get a little scary when the SHTF, and SOA isn't cheap to do right. Plus if you are running a 35" or smaller tire then theres no reason to be going SOA in the first place. Ive even seen guys on here running 37 and 40" MTRs with only 2" of lift.
