Front Springs OK For SOA

[BCRAWLER]

Just wondering if the eyes on these springs are OK for a SOA.Think they have a 4" lift. Unknown manufacture.

yes, they will work for SOA, but they will sag and might have spring hop.

And the truck will be very tall.

They will work, but you are going to end up with about 10" of total lift. Getting the steering and front drive shaft to work with that much lift can be a challenge.

Was worried about the eye not being the usual wrap style and possibly having the unit trying to bent under acceleration.10 inches of lift may be a bit much so planning on mocking up before committing. Thanks for the input.

I can tell you from experience SOA and 4" lift springs is allot of lift. That is the way I bought mine and it is high. It is hard to get in and out of and currently the transfer case is shot. Looking for stock springs now to get it lower and to get the front drivline in better working order. Good luck with the build.

4" plus SOA is quite a bit and as mentioned brings with it other issues, front shaft angle is pretty harsh on a QT rig.
Stock springs with a secondary main spring added for support works well, I'm on year 3 of that setup now.
Custom springs designed for SOA is probably the best option but can get pricey.
Rancho 44044 front springs are about a 2" lift and not terrible in the $$ department.

I have a question about all that lift. My last big lifted truck was a dodge W150. I'm thinking on a SOA on my J10 now. Would going with a divorced transfer case help any about the driveshaft angles? I was thinking about going that route.
