A springover isn't really that hard to do if you are familiar with a welder and torch/grinder. The hard part is getting the steering corrected, and making sure that you don't have any spring wrap. It will net you about 5.5". If you haven't at least seen a spring over conversion, then you should leave it to a professional or someone that has done this before.
Your bio says you have 6" of lift to run 33's.
I have a 3.5" spring lift, 1" body lift, 5/8" shackle lift and run 37's (I have tube fenders and a TJ cut rear well opening). The key to having a good working spring under system is to make sure you have the right springs, a hanger flip, and the right shocks.
Not all spring under systems ride like crap. Spring over requires a fair amount of engineering and still isn't for everyone. An SOA system will usually allow more front end hop while climbing than a SUA system. A few guys in my club that had had SOA for years went back to SUA. On an SOA system you have to have some sort of anti-wrap bar to prevent your springs from bending. There are many kits on the market and it's not a complicated installation. But overall, there's not really anything gained by a SOA compared to a decent SUA system.
Thanks, this answered evrything that I needed. I think I may go with a 1 inch body lift and then leave it at that. A buddy of mine with a cherokee wanted to find out as well, I think that this would be better for he than I. Can you send some pic's so I can see how 37's look on your jeeo?
Thanks!!
