lift kit reccomendations

[jmaloney67]

Im back from the Army and need to fix my green scout.

Since I broke the spring on my green scout, im going to take the stock , new springs out form under my project scout and buy a 4" lift for my project. At mohawk there was some conversatinos that some brands of kists sagged, some where better than others etc.

What brand of Kit should I buy? Rough Country, Skyjacker, etc??
any advice would be apreciated.

Thanks

James

or should i buy new stock springs for my green scout and Spring over axle my project??? your thoughts??

My Skyjacker Softride sagged in the rear. That's in a truck with a diesel engine, heaver than other engines, and a glass body + a half roof which makes for much lighter in the rear than a regular Scout. And for a "softride" it rides kinf of hard, althought that could be the lighter weight of the glass body.

Ray Cass has Triangle springs and they seem pretty good.

Welcome home!

I have an old Rancho 4 in lift kit on my scout the springs are pretty stiff but I like em. Rancho dosen't make them anymore but from what I hear that the Alcan springs are pretty nice.
Don't get the trailmaster springs those are the ones that sag IIRC.

I had a 4" Rough Country on this 79', worked good for the time I had it.

If you want stock springs I have a couple of sets in my garage I would love to give away, so I say go spring over.

If James passes on the offer, let me know. I've been looking for some decent used stock springs.

Rallen,
