i have a cj5 and i am thinking about cutting out the dana 30 and running full width 44s. i have a 3" body lift so i cant do a spring over. i heard that waggy springs will give me 2" lift SUA. do yall have any suggestion about SUA with leaf springs?

Is your body lift irreversible? If not I'd pull it out, go back to stock height poly body bushings, then go SOA with Black Diamond springs. They've performed well for me for the last 7 years. IMHO, a correctly done SOA conversion is far better than a SUA lift, but it's not as cheap as some think. If you're set on staying SUA, take a good look at Black Diamond springs, great springs, on or off-road.

I sort of agree with Robin on the body lift. my rule is No more than 1". As for SUA The rancho 44044 springs are a 2" waggy lift spring. However on a CJ they will give you a 4" lift plus a 4" stretch. Because of the offset centering pin. I run these springs on a SOA but had them in the SUA before. They work great. I also agree with Robin on the cost of the SOA it's more than people want you to believe. Good luck with the build.
