You will soon realize that the yj springs are the cheapest thing to buy. I have them on my 88 samurai, they work really great, i have the yj mounting kit from Sky, i have spring over, i have had to buy longer shocks, i made my own front shock hoops to get all the travel i could get. longer front drive shaft, i have an extented slip yoke in the rear. longer brake lines. I have the mercedes steering arms with a modified draglink. I have 33's on mine with locrite front and rear, 6.5:1 transfer case with solid mounts and reinforced brackets. :laugh:

I went with the Trail Tough missing link setup, check it out here :

Detailed installation instructions here :

Depending on how you are sitting right now but if your Sami is stock it will lift it, give it more flex, and probably ride smoother.

I also have ALOT of other parts on the Sami but the pics can give yo uan idea of how mine sits and stretches.
