What have you guys ran for leafs in the front? i got 2" rancho wranglers and their too small, not enough lift, so what have you guys used? and how much lift do you guys think it would provide if i stepped up to a 4" wrangler spring?

well here is what im doing, i have a 97 2wd im converting to 4wd, i will be running 34' ltbs with 16" wheels, i have a mutt dana 30 (lol more on that later), im putting leafs in the front also, i have toyota 3" trail gear springs in the rear, very nice springs, around 5-6" or lift, pretty much a bolt in deal in the rear, you have to drill the factory spring mount out for a 5/8 bolt (i think) and put one flat washer in between the spring bushing and mount, i have 4" trail gear springs for the front havent installed yet, i have the toyota crossmember for the front, its from sky manufacturing, im putting the shackle in the rear of the springs, rides better and flexes better in my opinion, from what ive seen, im not sure on how high its gonna be, my buddy did the sas on his toyota with the 4" kit from trail gear on his 87 toyota and he can clear 37's 38's no problem

Whats everybody think of the waggy springs? i can pick up a set for real cheap right now, will they provide more lift than my 2" wrangler springs? and are they gonna be a really stiff ride, if so im gonna have to take out leafs, which will take away some lift, so im trying to gain lift with them but not get a real stiff ride.
