Are you Spua and 2" lift springs? Spoa and 2" lift springs will get you "started"... but yer gonna want more stuffdepending on what you already have now...

You can do this sooooo manyways.

Your 2", virtual Lift... (trim the fenderwells), additional gearing.

Spua, Ruf, virtual, additional gearing, drivetrain, steering.

Spoa with your 2" lift, and additional gearing, shocks, drivetrain, steering.

Spoa with YJ's and additional gearing, shocks, drivetrain, steering.

Spoa with Ruf and additional gearing, shocks, drivetrain, steering.

In addition some care with rim choice or wheel spacers will need to be considered.

Now it is up to you to decide which lift fits your needs and budget the best.

Best price your gonna find...... http://bbs.zuwharrie.com/content/topic,120973.0.html (http://bbs.zuwharrie.com/content/topic,120973.0.html)

It's a bolt on kit. Aftermarket 4x4 (Sean DeVinney) has it for sale. Great guy to deal with and he will be able to answer any question about installation you might encounter.

Most manufacturers won't honer a lift spring warrentee if used with a SPOA lift.
 Causes spring sag pretty quickly if the springs aren't set up for it.
Not sure of the manufacturer of your 2" springs , so I cant comment on them......
 A bit of Jeep tech: If you use a 6" spring perch when setting up the SPOA, it will be less likely to develop a sagging problem.....
 Tractor tires????
 Sounds like your going in the swamp... Don't overlook the track bar.......And vents....Boxcar...

Kinda to Boxcar's point none of the springs folks are using were made or would have any warrenty for a Spoa application. To me that kinda a mute point. Another thought or an old school trick would be to utilize CJ spring plates for your spring application. they are larger and will help provide more support to the springs.  ;)
