i have 2'' lifted springs and was wondering would i be able to use them in a spoa conversion-but i dont want extreme height.
so i was thinking would it work if i just took some leaves out? if so how many??

i'm by no means an expert but you should be able to use the springs
are they heavier duty than standards? or are they just higher?

standard springs have 4 leaves and and over load leaf
this is a reset standard compared to a 65mm lifted spring

if you want to lower the springs you got take out the second leaf, the one above the load leaf but this will also make the spring softer

A spring over would get you a fair bit of lift, maybe 5"?? Should be going for standard flat springs, no lift at all. What size tyre do you plan on running?

I see you also want a body lift in another thread.

SPOA plus a body lift is huge on such a short wheel base. Think about virtual lifts and moving your diffs before going so high if you want to fit bigger tyres.

if you only want to runn 31's stay spua and put a 2 inch body lift in

with spoa you'll fit 33" wheels no problems with no body lift but move your front diff forward a inch.
