    Hi all and happy new year from Greece.
    I would like to change the stock springs of an m38a1 with yj stock springs.
    Because i'm going to make new hangers all around for yj springs, i want to get about 2'' of lift from the hangers.
    What do you think is better for more flex,
    to run on stock yj springs and get the lift from the hangers or get the lift from an aftermarket spring pack(old man emu).
    You think that they would flex better than stock because m38a1 stock springs with rancho rs9000 for 2.5''lift flex preety good.
    I can post some photos of the current set up

    From what I understand, the yj springs, stock, will flex better than aftermarket springs. I also think the stock yj springs will give you about a 2" lift over stock.

    I've seen this article but it concerns a 4.5'' spring lift.
    Would they flex better than those photos.
    Stock springs with rancho rs9000x for 2.5'' lift

    OME springs are going to flex better than any stock setup from my experience.

    Ride better too.

    Thanks for the input.
    I think i'll choose stock yj and get the lift from the hangers, cheaper and same work.
