SOA needed or um.. wanted.

[theRash]

I need some help with an SOA. I need either a recomendation on a shop or a Cruiser guy with experience and willing to work with me to get it done using their tools and experience. I don't know about how much it'll cost but I'm open to suggestions and see where we go from there.

I am ultimately looking for roughly 4-6 inch lift for the cheapest price. I have heard of SOAs being a better bang for the buck... or at least a cheaper price but I'm open for suggestions.

here is a thread that lets you know about the typical costs of a spring over

The only way that you can do a spring over for less than lift springs is if you have all the tools or the access to the tools..

thanks Isotel. I may still go with the SUA suspension. My end goal is to fit 35" tires (no more, no less). I want to fit 35s for the least amount of cost of a lift required to fit it. Any ideas about the best way to get there? I'm all ears.

May not be the best way, but the cheapest is a Sawzall!

Actually I agree with Trevor, If you don't have the tools. It could be rather pricey and difficult.

Sprung under wagons can wheel pretty nice with 35's. Save your $$ for gears and lockers..

Use those lift springs that I sold you,

Buy a 2" body lift from 4Crawler.com main page

This is the minimum you will need and the tires should fit nicely. A 2" body lift will not be very difficult to install. If memory serves me correct all you will need to do is redrill the mounting holes for the fan shroud.

Bigger shackles won't hurt either. I have a set of 2" overstock if you are interested.

Man-a-fre shackle reversal, add-a-leaf and longer shackles for the rear to level would give you around 3" of lift. One thing leads to another and you could end up with shocks, drive shaft modifications, longer brake lines, gears, lockers, body damage and lots of stories to tell.

Thanks guys. It looks like it might be over my head for the SOA and I can still accomplish the 35s without SOA. Because i do want gears and lockers too.
