Gang,
Thansk for all the tips on springs to use in the rear of a YJ with full widths and 14 bolt. I have decided to go in a home built custom route, most likely a mix of XJ and Waggy springs, adding some wheelbase to the Jeep.
I saw some pics from the gang, like in Texas Blake YJ (nice work btw), and similar setups, and gas tanks are still in the original position. Will the 14 bolt slam against the gas tank, when flexing, or will the SOA and about an inch spring height be enough to prevent that? I have some scratches in the tank skid from when I had a 44 with SUA, from the axle flexing and hitting that area. The Jeep has one 1 body lift, so I may just move the tank up a notch, but wanted to avoid the fuel cell route for now if possible.
Suggestions?
