Hi Waylon, From reading your previous post,a spring over is probably not what you want. This will give you at least 5 1/2 to 6" of lift. You will also have to cut and turn the axle housings to correct the driveshaft angles. A spring over should only be done by a qualified welder familiar with this procedure. With a S/O you should also change the steering to a saginaw setup. This could run up to a grand alone (if you have someone do it for you) Also, when doing spring over axles, you usually do a shackle reversal. which CAN cost even more $$. The 2" suspension you were asking about is considered Mild, A spring over is Wild! How about an in between suspension. How about a 4" skyjacker kit w/revolver or anti-inversion shackles and Black Diamond shocks.

Check out some of these sites. A spring over will cost more unless you can do it all yourself. Its not for the beginner, but after you start to live and breathe cruisers it'll become obvious. Anyway there is a lot of info to digest here, good luck!
