SOA with stock springs

[The Donzi]

How is the ride quality on/off road with the stock springs in an SOA vs. Superlift etc..? Thanks JB

[Brown Bear]

From what i understand, soa will give you basically a taller stock quality ride. Are they new stock springs or originals? if orig., then you're gonna get the same "rough" ride.

A 'lift' system will give you a stiffer ride regardless of the brand to get... soem are stiffer than others....

The SOA will maintain your stock ride quality...

I am planning my SOA now and I think I will run new stock springs (ESPO, National maybe?). I am new to the FSJ world so I am still doing research on the options. Any other new stock spring sources?

No drop pitman arm??? and what is the deal with passenger side "raised" link to the knuckle? Is it a kit or homemade? Also,do you have any plans for the steering components? Thanks JB

[River Beast]

It is called high X-cross over steering....

The components can be bought/fabbed...

instead of explaining it here... just go to my site (link in sig below) and readup on it... my site may help answer alot of your questions...trust me....that's why I built my site... :D

Easy to build from thinwall tubing and clamps
