Commando lift. Custom suspension

What is the measurement now from the bottom of the rocker to the ground?
I have a SOA in my 73 which I though gave 4 or 5" of lift.
I'd like to compare with what I have now and see if the 4" may be more than I want.
I was thinking the 4" HC kit but I may want to go with a 2" if they have it.

 

Sorry for the delay...I was in Jamaica for the past week...here's the '71 with 4" HellCreek and 31x10.5x15" Dunlop Mud Rovers

 

Thanks for the picts. You just helped me decide.

I was worried about the height, with 31's but it looks good.


Now just need to part with the $$$$
Here it is with 31's and SOA. I want to keep this height

 

Looks almost the same height, which is why I think tennjeepster got either the wrong springs or they really put an arch to his set as his definetly looks more like 6" of lift...there is no way I would consider running 35's with my set-up as they would be stuffed more than the michelin man...where his has plenty of room for them.

 

Sorry for the delay on posting this it has been busy. From the ground to the bottom of the rocker is between 10.5 and 11 inches.

 

Here's my 74 with 3" Alcan springs, longer front shackles and 31x10.5 MT's.

 

Does anyone know what the spring capacity is for the Jeepster springs, front and rear??

Hope this helps, didn't find front or rear capacity ratings.

 

I have Grumpy's old 4" Alcan springs under my '71. they clear 33's with no problems and if I went SOA it would clear 35's. I dont know what they cost, but they seem to ride very well.

Thanks for posting the spring rate info, that helps alot, I am considering going with leading and trailing links and coilovers when I re-axle this fall.
