I used 2.5" Old Man Emu springs with my soa and it works great. It feels stable and flexes a ton. I have not gotten in onto a ramp yet, but I'm guessing I'll break 1000. All I need is some new shocks as those are limiting my flex. You need to decide what springs you will use before your soa. if you change you will mess up your steering geometry and or your driveline angles. so pick the springs first. With my set uup and no bump stops it would clear up to 40's but no more. the 38.5's are about perfect. they stuff right up to within an inch of the fenderwells with cutout rears and the fornts have plenty of clearance.

The coolest 40 series suspension is probably an all-coil setup like what Ken Hanna made. I think he'd be game for another conversion: www.hannaquality.com

Check out the articulation on his 40:
