Which is better? How much lift do you get out of it? Do people do this for a cheap lift? Does it could more issue with spring wrap on way or the other.
Discuss.

Spring over will net you approx. 5 to 5.5 i am not sure. It is one or the other. However the downside i keep hearing about is the axle wrap problem. It should be easily cured by a anti wrap bar of some sort. I just wonder how that will work and not take away from the articulation.  Tony |

Whay are you thinking spring over or under? The way the traction bar mounts is to maximixe the articulation gained by SOA. I think I have sean some mounted to the diff or to the axl tube next to the diff. ITs to limit the diff from rotating and pulling the drive shafts apart. BEN

you would think that a spring over is cheaper, but it is not. axle wrap is an issue but that is fixed with an anti wrap bar which will not limit articulation if done properly. you use stock springs for a spring over so you get a soft ride and good flex

Well I do know a way to get around the spring wrap problem www.jeepaholics.com/tech/bambar/ but it is more of an issue of finding something that is competent to do the welding. But that is another issue all together. I didn't realize that you would get that much lift. I did figure the axle tube plus mounts plus if you had to add wedge to get the pinion angle correct. And if you are thinking it is for the XJ, it's not. I am trying to figure out something that I can't really find answers for. But I am trying to figure out what springs to use to get the correct amount of lift. I'm really not sure whether the XJ is SUA or SOA. The Wagoneer was SOA which made it real nice and easy to remove the rear axle. |

Guess I should have said the "late" 79 Wagoneer was SOA. Anyone need a real large dog house? Kind of resembles a Wagoneer carcass.  Jonathan |

HOA might have something to say about that? I bet they would since they do where I live and you've been there out in the middle of NOWHERE. But it is a gated community.  Just because it's a farm gate doesn't mean that it doesn't count. |

Our '84 SJ was SUA front and SOA rear I think.

That's how the 79 was as well. It is hard to move a D44 front axle around in a gravel driveway with a floor jack.  |
