how much lift

[BlackYJ]

What about doing an soa. Is it a better op and is it any cheaper

A spring over with stock springs will net you about 5.5-6" of lift.  As Johnny mentioned driveline angles became a big issue and a SYE will be a must as with a trackbar of some sort.  You can use stock YJ springs but you will probably eat through those pretty quick.  In addition, steering becomes an issue and you really need to think it thru to have it done correctly and safely.

In the end a SUA will probably be easier but fitting 36s on a YJ will not be cheap no matter which way you go

sorry yes, Scott is bang on.

i think you will need to goto a highsteer setup, or a longer dropped pitman arm to make steering work....


i had debated it when i did my lift, but lazy factor (i can't weld) led me to the 4.5" springs and some modest fender clearing would also allow the 36s, so i went that way, mostly because i didn't know much about steering at that time, and i don't like axlewrap!
