Is this a DD? rock crawler or mud? Personally I'd go for the YJs, the missing links will give more articulation than stock but the ride will still suck.

I run 3" lift deaver springs from rocky road with rocky roads missing links, great flex, very stable, awesome setup. Ends up being 4" of lift till the m/l's open up, then its more like 6 or 7. Even rides great on the street.

Im pretty sure you can get the YJ kit from one of the companys i cant remember which one it is, i will go search for it then post it.  But other sites say that they get very unstable with the missing link instaslled, but so many people are running them and DD with them and say that they are perfectly fine.  I would say i trust the people who are using them on there rigs, thats like first hand adivice.  I personally like the YJ springs, they flex super good, you lengthen your wheel base a little bit also, but still keep great aproch angle.

well i hope all of our info helps you out, keep us posted on what you do

The missing link will give you a lot of flex, but when you hit a bounce the link will unload.  Zig drive a missing link Sammy around this weekend, so he might be able to give you a review.

Heck, go with the YJ springs, and if you want you can always missing link it in the future.  :)

Sky's yj swap, has missing links that can be locked to not open or take out bolt and they open, that is what they told me when I called them.

Yj springs flex like mad,  I am currently doing the RUF setup with Missing Links up front, friend of mine has this and I love the way it flexes, plus its a cheap mod to do.  But if I had yj sitting around I would go that route.
