Show your SOA setup

GreatWhiteYJ · 11-10-2007, 05:50 PM

ok, this is similar to the other threads, but instead of sifting through 800 jeeps...i want to see only SOA jeeps to see different clearences and all.
RULES:
picture of jeep from side/profile view on level ground. (feel free to add other pictures also)
list what kinda of springs and how much lift they are
list axles being used
list any additional lift (body/shackle/etc.)
list tire size
list shock type and size (also mention if you use standard or custom shock towers)
if you know other information like actual tire hight and actual clearance distance between tire and fender, it would be nice.

XJ springs front and rear with 2 leafs added up front and 1 leaf swapped out back. they sit pretty flat... no more than MAYBE 1" of arch measured between a string from spring eye to eye to the spring plate

hp44/60

2" body

39.5x18

don't know... free hand-me-down shocks.... on custom shock hoops....

tires are getting slick quick... measure about 38" tall at 17 psi (15x12" rim) and i don't know clearance between "fenders" and tire but they come 1/4" from rubbing the "fenders" in front and tub in the rear

Thanks Erik. I didn't get much feedback on my build thread I was curious if anyone liked it.

Right now I'm working on new project. Transplanting Rubicon air locker into standard 44 since my Electrac is JUNK!

It's a nicely equiped YJ, but the OP wants to see several set-ups, so no harm in posting what ya' got.
