Not so much good flex in a YJ with spring under "lifted" springs. HUGE positive arc makes for not so much wheel travel. Now, stock YJ springs over the axles, awesome wheel travel in both directions.

Yeah I have 3.5 military wrap spring that are still pretty new (no broken in yet) with 5/8 boom shackle and it does ok for a yj but I do need to go start breaking the springs in! Besides I just pick up a discovery pass and don't want it to go to wast!



oh yeah I threw my front and rear track bar in the trash and also my sway bar but worry it's still safe to drive its a yj thing and I know you 4 link guys won't understand.......lol but it does help a bunch as far as flex goes!

That's a sweet looking YJ, Zack. I've always liked them more than the TJs. I guess I will always be an old school leaf spring guy! My first wheeler was an 80 Toyota truck with leafs all around on 35s.
