coil over conversion will not do away with you leafs!!!!!!! the conversion is for the front, and the leafs are in the rear.....

and im guessing you are wanting to go with the TC conversion?????? if so do you have a pocket, wallet, bank account deep enough for it????? LOL

it depends on what exactly you are talking about... he didnt say front or rear conversion.. It is COMPLETELY doable to convert the rear to coil springs...

yeh, total coil over conversion would that be a good idea for an X after a 3" SL and 2" BL??????

or would just front coil over and a solid axle??????

was wondering if coil over convertion is even a good idea for offroading?

answer this first, how much money do you have to spend.. a SAS/SOA is not a cheap mod... but yeah its the ultimate offroading mod that we all dream of but cant afford...

The SOA isn't $$$ really, It can be done for <$100 easily

Yeah, you would definitely be ass up, unless you had your front end cranked big time with the bumpstops removed. Either way, I would SAS it if I were going to spend the Money on coils. Even then, there are other options that flex just as well.

yep i knew that i was just wanting to state that yes to do the SOA its cheap but to match it in the front costs a few... LOL and the TC coil over conversion you need the kit from them then you have to buy the radflo coilovers then you need to buy and paint some fiberglass fenders.. i priced it one time and i think it was around 3-4k to do....
