Spend $$$ re-arching the packs you have...

...Spend $$$ on BOR 8" springs (probably the smartest choice over-all, but requires committment to spending the dough)...

...Spend time/effort/materials dropping the front spring mount like Billavista did, and add a leaf from an MJ pack to make up the difference by stiffening the spring rate...which is welcome due to the ride height increase (this is what I would probably have to do, based upon lack of $$$, offset by fab skills, and a shop to fab in)

Best,
Bob

What ever happen to that frame rail, relocation mod. That should give you at least two - three inches?

Why so big? I am running 38s with 7-8" of lift and everything seems to fit fine. Without running swaybars, you'd be better served giving me those front spacers and keeping it at 8" (my front is about 1" lower than my rear)

The worst thing I ever did to my Cherokee was to go from 6" to 9" of lift. Yeah, it looks "real" cool now, but doesn't wheel like it used to by a long shot! Your best bet is to find a way to fit 35" tires on about 6 or 7 inches of lift. I used to "walk" right up bump dump in Moab with open diffs and 6" lift, now I don't even come close with my 9" lift and locked f+r. But, I look DAMN good trying!!!

I'll second that. And for proof, pull out your Petersen's with the BOW2 in it. Check out the smooth stylings of Andy Couch & his 33" tires wheeling with the big boys on all the hardcore stuff. Size doesn't matter boys, sorry to say it but it's all about how you use what you got.

Gee, was I even talking to you little boy?
I was merely pointing out the fact that on dump bump(and Mikeys Hot Tub for that matter) less lift will always work better than more lift, that is all.
But seeing that you havn't been to Moab either you wouldn't know that.
