Title: 3" deavers for a spring over?
Post by: airmanwilliams on May 31, 2011, 09:20:00 PM

hey guys I am in need of putting my 32" tires under my 87 samurai so I am thinking of using my 3" deaver springs that are on it already and just putting them over for a spoa until I can get my yj mounting stuff. My question is has anyone done this with these 3" deavers before? and what should I expect as for inches of lift on a spring over with these?

A SPOA lift will usually add 5-6" of lift over your current setup.  So expect to be 8" taller then stock.

sweet thats  great. quite the lift for 32" tires but with spacers I can get a wider stance and I think it will work until I get my 1 1/2" springs sold and get yj mounting stuff and an ott setup.

this may open a whole new can of worms and require more mods than just putting the springs in a spoa setup.
longer shocks, brake lines, steering, driveline length and angles.
Alot to think about when lifting that high. Not that it can't be done just may involve alot of mods to only change it again when you go YJ springs.

Here is a good read from Ack's website :
