Samurai questions

So there are so many different spring overs out there; who does one go with? Im looking for quality not the cheapest, but definetly want most bang for the buck. And what does it take to run 33's without rubbing?

 

[Dubshot]

I would say trail tough or calmini for quality.

Yj spoa. Look at my Sami thread

Lift springs suck. Calmini makes a FEW good parts. TT makes good parts but doesn't mean I'd run lift springs.

Plus 3" lift springs + SPOA= major lift, YJ springs do about 1.5-2", SPOA does 4-4.5", so netting you at 5.5"-6.5",which will clear 33s fully stuffed, and 35 with minor massaging and/or bumpstops.

i have the trail tough yj spring conversion with the missing links on the front. its awesome. clears 32's easy, will be going to 35's next with some serious fender trimming

I use the Sky Manufacturing yj brackets and i like them. I've also used the Trail tough ones as well. both companies make a great product. I also agree with using stock springs as opposed to lifted ones.

Fordzuki built my YJ mounts and even put them in for as I have no weld skills at this time. I also went yota's at the same time. Running 33" SSR's without a wide stance. Tires are about 3" outside the fenders. Trimed the tube that would be behind the bumper and no rub issues. If I ever have some money I will be finishing and wheeling it soon. Calmini is not all the good and their customer service sucks ass. RRO is **** also. Trail tough is good. Also check out www.lowrangeoffroad.com good site.:awesomework:

Trail tough makes a good spring....The "Bonezeye" spring, gives one in of lift, and when sprung over, will clear 33's...might have to do minor trimming...If you want on the cheap---go springover using stock rear springs on all 4 corners (with another main leaf added to the packs to make it a 5 leaf pack)--little fabbing involved (have to move the front shackle hanger on the frame forward about an inch), but works well and clears 33's no problem...also moves the front axle forward about 1.5".

I am running RRO's Yj set up and I ordered Warrior 2.5 perches for the spring over. Serious flex for the price. I will suggest not to buy RRO's kit due to shipping Issues with them. The only reason I have the kit is because I pulled it from a parts rig. So yeah, I agree, TT. Oh and I am running 33x12.5's and barley hit on my springs from time to time.

Nope, added two springs to the bottom to make 5 leaf packs. No axle wrap and my brakelines are my limiting factor:redneck:
