    I plan to install scout 44s in my early 5 and I need ideas on springs . should I spring over or under , I am pretty rough on it , I bent my last springs at Tellico. Has anyone ever used mid 70s land cruiser stock springs for a spring over ?? I know you guys are full of ideas so let me hear it . Thanks.

    The most common spring swap here are YJ springs.
    SOA gets it like 6" (maybe more), I think under is good for like 2.5".

    I dont think that a SUA wrangler spring would give any lift . They are flat ... ?

    I'm thinking I saw somewhere they are good for 2.5" but I wont swear to that.
    Maybe that was if you put the hangers in the stock place for a cj, cause they are longer.
    I'll look for that write up.
