A friend has new 3.5" Superlift springs he has never installed. He decided to go SOA and has given me first dibs on the springs. Does anyone run these? I don't need them but I wouldn't mind having them to get another 1" of lift. If they have problems with sagging or anything else I'll pass them up and wait for a Rubicon express down the road. I did a search and came up with nothing.

I had 3.5" Superlift springs, and I thought they were great. The ride was much better than my buddies YJ with 3.5" springs. I am not sure what brand, He bought it with them. Anyway, I would still be running them if I hadn't gone SOA. I give them

My YJ had Pro-Crap springs on it when I bought it. The Superlift springs were a much better spring. Better ride and better flex. I'd go for it if he gives you a deal.

yea, I put pro comp springs on my Jeep before I found JF and learned I should have bought something else. Mine have been okay except one is sagging, just got to get around to take it off and get a new one under warranty. They flex okay and ride okay, it took alot of flexing to loosen them up a little though but I want to go higher now. The 3.5" springs and my 1" body lift will work nice I think. He's offering me a deal, I still need everything else to go with them though.

What else do you need that your current lift doesn't have? SYE & driveshaft?

yep, the sye and driveshaft, longer brake lines and swaybar disconnects. That's about it. Not sure if my swaybar disconnects will work. Taking off the swaybar is not an option for me. The Jeep handles alot better on the road with it.

I have the 3.5 supalifts for the heavier loads on mine. Ive been real pleased with them. Was suprised at how well they flexed. Ride is "OK".

My first lift was a 3.5" Superlift. Worked great for 4 years and never sagged. Wheeled it every weekend.
