Another spring question
« on: September 11, 2007, 10:50:26 PM »
I am looking to soften my SPOA ride.  I currently have an old set of YJ fronts that I can use.  I see some people putting the rear stock in the front with the missing link kit and running CJs in the rear.  What about running front YJs in the rear.  Would that be too soft?  What about running the front YJs up front and keeping the rear stocks?  Would that be a good setup?

Or should I just bite the bullet and do YJs all the way around? 

I also noticed people saying the 3 inch YJs should use a wider spring pad but the TT kit doesn't use a wider pad and the one shown in their how to video is the same width as the narrow stock under pad.  They only seem to be using the wider u bolt bracket on the top with the narrower standard SPOA pad on the bottom.

I think the yj's are 2.5 inch wide(have to go look now) and they just use the stock size perch, you can run the yj's in the rear and then put you rears up front with a r.r.(r.u.f.) kit or make your own but the yj's might be about two inches taller in the rear than the front if you have a winch, the shocks make for the ruff ride, check out sky's kit or trail toughs, t.t. sells new yj's cheap also,I run yj six packs front and rear.
