thinking about the SOA

if i do the SOA conversion what all would i need to make the front level or +1in with it and will this allow me to run 37s?

The SOA will give you approx. 6.5" (or 4.5" if you chop the front leaf spring hangers) of lift in the rear. That means you must do something to the front suspension to level it out, or it will look (and drive) very goofy. You might try playing around with different leaf springs to try and reduce the rear lift even more but, I think this will only yield another inch or so decrease. The Rancho kit works good with the SOA, and so does a solid front axle swap. Neither are considered "cheap". Rancho apparently won't budge on selling just the front half of the lift kit, and it also requires custom wheels (or spacers) that add additional cost to it.

This topic is done to death. Do a forum search for "SOA" and you will find more than you ever wanted to know.
