[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 432664, member: 18789"] Show us some pictures...."larger spring perches" is not a way to lift a YJ...they probably meant longer shackles if they told you that. Longer shackles will create a wandering and loose steering feeling. Some pictures of the suspension, steering, and overall pics of the Jeep and frame will help us help you evaluate what you're looking at. The only thing they could have done with spring perches to lift the rig would be to move them from under the axle to on top of the axle, called "spring over axle". SOA needs traction bars but not track/panhard bars. YJs came from the factory with fixed length track/panhard bars, though aftermarket adjustable options exist to replace the front. The rear is pretty much removed with any suspension lift and thrown in the trash. The rear is 100% not needed, front is not necessarily needed but can be beneficial. Hopefully you can upload some pics or at least send the for sale ad. It's really hard to have an idea of what's going on with that Jeep without seeing it. Just too many variables. [/QUOTE]
