STEERING

[Sprungover]

If you want a 44 front, get a 78-79 F250. It is a bolt on SOA for a YJ.

Not calling you out specifically giggity, but why are all you guys so unhelpful when people ask a question about SOA?

And what is 'doing half the job'? - I'm not vouching for the OP here.. but you have no idea what his mechanical skill level is, or what his working knowledge is of leaf sprung vehicles.

SOA isn't difficult.. it's expensive, sure, but thats relative with any suspension modification.. and it's time consuming - But it is far from difficult.

You move the axel from one side to another, figure out pinion/caster angles, shock mounts, drive shaft, brake lines.. really pretty basic stuff. - I can see how it wouldn't be so easy for someone with zero mechanical experience. - but there are too many threads where people get talked down at just for asking a question.. like "how do you like your SOA setup? because I'm thinking about doing one"

Connect the 2 icons "by placing the jeep above the axle icon and the soa opens in a separate window." then you can access the spring over bible which has been protected by soa ninjas for along time.Its all a big secret.like area 51.Got to go I've said to much ,i think i heard something ,hope its not the ninjas. They beat you up about soa because they are trying to save a life i guess.

I actually think most guys get tons of helpful info initially. I think the frustration comes because in under less than a second on Google you can over a hundred thousand results and guys still come here as though there's nothing involved but bolting an axle to the bottom of a set of springs.

You are hearby banned from the SOA bible.

First rule of the SOA bible: You do not talk about the SOA bible.

Now, I'm probably going to get banned from the SOA bible for quoting you talking about the SOA bible.

this... Lots of ppl ask, not many listen.... they half *** the job and come back in 2 weeks asking why their steering is ****, and their jeep wont stay on the road.... or they have 7 steering stabilizers on to help....

its not hard, your right, but there is ALOT more involved then what most ppl think

[Joe Dillard]

Okay guys.....I did some creative editing.

Carry-on.

[40dog]

I had to mention the soa bible!
dam! back to square one .
Well since im at the bottom again i have to ask "do you want fries with that"??

for the ones who just gave me crap... dont wry i got a complete high steel kit so as far as undrievable it most def is and for the ones who argued for me thank you very much i agree with what you are saying about helping people with questions.." its just a question big deal" now back to business I have used hyme joints in the past and have seen them done on other tj's with a 4- link set up.have any of you seen or used them on a yj wihtout a long arm set up?

[ipath43]

Hyme joints for steering..? They're not street legal IIRC, if that's what your considering.

YJ's are leaf sprung. They will never have a long arm set up unless you completely change the suspension over to coils. Yes it has been done but coils are not normally associated with coils. YOu ask about spring over and then talk about YJ's like they are coil sprung in the same post. That really makes you sound like you have no idea what you have and what your doing. Spring over can be very very dangerous if not done right. Plenty of people on here will help you. But they will only do that if they feel you are going to do it right. I know I would not help someone do something if I thought they were going to half *** it and end up killing thierselves or worse someone else. Show everyone you know what your talking about and doing and maybe thier attitudes would change.
