    I'm planning on installing a 4" suspension lift on my 56 Willys CJ5. I don't plan on rock climbing or any serious off roading. The choices for lift kits are few. Should I install soft springs? I've found the following lift kits. Superlift, Skyjacker, Trailmaster, and Rugged ridge. Do you think any of these will work for me? Thanks, Doug

    There are also Rancho, Black Diamond, and BDS also. I've heard good things about BDS.

    I'm very happy with my recent 2.5" Pro-Comp lift.

    If you aren't planning on any serious off roading or rock crawling, why such a big lift? I don't really think you are going to get any "soft" spring in that lift at 1.5" wide. I have also heard good things about BDS though. Is National Spring still doing those high leaf count, soft springs? Anyone know?
