I purchased mine from Tuff Country many years ago. It gave me a fair amount of lift and still had a good ride. After about 7 years one side began to sag a bit. I took them down and they gave me new ones without a question. Mine is a 86 CJ7.

After seven years??? Wow, thats great!!! I had some skyjacker springs I took back after putting them on and having them sag right away, I took them off and took them back, and they said I would have to put them back on, measure frame height on both sides, then swap the springs (left to right, right to left) and measure again to make sure it was the springs and not my jeep!!! I about died!!! These were springs I had purchased no longer than a week before that and had put on without air tools. Long story short, I got my money back. Where did you purchase those T.C. springs?

Exactly... RE is the way to go... Not one person running an RE lift will complain about it. However, I upgrade people all of the time wanting out of their other brand lift into RE. Start there, do it the right way, and be happy!

I'll PM you a great price and should be a good incentive to finger the other guys :D

2 1/2 is too small. You will regret not going with a 4".

Interesting...I did a spring over with the 2.5" RE springs and I clear 37" Krawlers at full stuff with no bump stops. I ran a 4" before I did the swap and I hated the 4" because the arched spring gave such a hard ride. JMO though. KENNETH !!

you're comparing apples and oranges (SUA vs. SOA) :D

if you want the best lift, Old Man Emu or custom Alcan springs. Either one is very pricey but will both give you an awesome ride...for a better priced yet still pretty good kit, go with RE.
