SOA

[rlcwagoneers]

What are the benefits and drawbacks to this kind of lift? Does anyone have any info about procedures??????

[Crazy_Jeepman]

When you were up here getting the Motor and Trans, I could have sent you home with a SOA axle! LOL Its a cheap way to get 7" of lift.

Do a search in the archives. There is a ton of info on that. Afterwards post any lingering questions and we'll hook you up.

benefits: 7" lift for front using stock springs; stock ride; makes you way cooler than all your friends

procedure: go to riverbeast's site, he's got a hole shebang on it; check the archives, lots of good stuff in there too.

Pros: Cheapest way to gain 7" of lift.....

Cons: Much custom work to be done by you (but how else can you learn?)

thanks for the plug Nathan ;)

I've never seriously considered the SOA but I do have a point to make. It would be very helpful if someone would post quality, close up pictures of the spring perches before and after the mods and then with the springs mounted.

Yea looks darn cool!!!! Not to hard to do. Just get the Easy-to-Do RB inversion kit and check out the threads here in the forum. I will have complete pics and break downs on my page here shortly. Just give yourself a good week or a coouple of weekends to do it.

I don't really have any BEFORE suspension pics. But if you have a waggy I pretty sure we will have the same, except for those of you who have the '75ish and earlier...
Good luck!
