Ok,

Was reading a recent posting about the SOA front and SUA rear, and started thinking about this: I have a RE 4.5 lift, on the YJ, and the lift has been working great. What I dislike a lot is the lost clearance on the front from the crappy u-bolts sticking out. Those bastards snag whenever they have a chance, and I already broke a few on the trail.

Now to the question: What about running SOA on the front, and leaving the rear SUA with the lift springs? Why? Well, I have installed back my 30 in the front, which also has the perches for SOA welded. So why leave the rear SUA? One would be it is already running good with a 44, the driveline and angle are in great shape, and not having to deal with spring wrap problems in the rear would be sweet.

What do you guys think?

Give it a try and see if you like it. I would try to avoid really soft springs in the front otherwise it will be doing all the flexing.

Been done before. do it.

Thankd for the replies. I think I will go for it. I do not have other springs right now, just another set of stocks, or 2.5" springs, will the stock springs work if I add an extra leaf from another pack of springs, and what leaf from the stock set should I use?) I.e. use set of front YJ springs, and add second, or third leaf from rear?

ive seen a guy run a set of stockers with and add-a-leaf in the front SOA and 4.5 RE's in the rear SUA but the shackle mount was move to the bottom of the frame instead of in the frame
