I noticed a lot of people on this board run a 2.5 and a little whatever and run 33 inch tires...
I was wondering if u got a 4 inch sky jacker lift soft ride which will give a good ride on the street and a good amount of flex. RIGHT??? I am planning on running 33 and i have tj fender flares,
I have heard alot of people say that the skyjacker sags IS THIS OK?? is it bad if it does?? Will the springs sag be pretty well even? will the sag hurt how it handles on/off road or flex?? thanks in advance
83 and 84 cj 7

I have 4" Skyjacker Wrangler springs on my CJ7. They ride very nice and flex as well as any SUA I have seen.

Sag.... all springs will sag eventually(except maybe ProComp). I have found that the springs have settled into a very nice 3" lift that clear 33x12.50's with no problems. With TJ flares I imagine you can easily score 1000 on a 20degree ramp with the right springs and extended brake lines. Maybe it is because I used Wrangler springs but when first installed I only got 3.5"

You get a softer ride with wider springs up front.

The rears are the same width/same length or close enough to where you wont know a difference.

The fronts are slightly longer and slightly wider. You should move the front shackle hangers foward and replace them with the same parts that are used for the rear of a CJ. You will also need new spring plates and ubolts. Perches need no modification.

Do a search here and you should find more info as their was a lengthy post a week or two back.
