    Im in the market for some aftermarket leafs, but want to stay with the stock height. I know superlift offers a 1" lift, but i'd rather see if anyone knew where i could get some regular ones.
    jeep will see 45/45/10 street/wheelin/hiway. Would the superlifts work anyway, or look silly?

    thanks :coffee:

    super lifts 1" springs are great! They look great and with some 7:00x16's look stock really close to stock only better. I run them on my 3B but also went with bigger body bushings and shackles so ended up with about 2.5" lift and run 32" super swampers. I'd run the Superlift 1" you'll love it.!

    I have the 1" superlifts (reqiure you to swap out the "c" shackles to a modern type). but they sit pretty close to stock height, added 700x 16s and gained 1" clearance under the axles. Order new stock u bolts cause the superlifts are a larger diameter and reqiure you to drill out the spring plate holes, also had to make longer threads on the ubolts to allow for a shorter spring pack with the superlifts. I love them though.

    I went with the Superlift 1" lift springs too. I put 7:50 x 16's on my 2A. With stock truck wheels, 5", I did have to cut down a the turning angle just a bit to keep them from rubbing when turned tight against the steering lock. With that said, when I used the 1" lift front and back, the back end was almost a full inch higher than the front giving a forward rake to the whole Jeep. I prefer a look that has the front end just slightly higher so I ordered the 2 1/2" lift fronts and that gave me what I was looking for. I am running the stock flathead, and nothing particularly unusual. How did this work out for others with the 1" lift all around? I talked to the folks at Superlift about it. Also, I still have the new 1" lift front springs if anyone is interested. I will give you a great deal as they have been sitting in my garage unused for almost a year. I have the Superlift shackles to go with them (as stated, you must replace the U shackles). If you are interested, send me a PM. Shipping for the set is around $30 as I recall. Whatever the shipping cost, I will only charge the actual shipping. Not looking to make a killing here, hopefuly can help out someone else and recover something though.

    I think mine is a little low in the nose too.

    As far as stock replacements- lots of suppliers have them. Krage, Walcks, etc are a few.
