Is RUF mod still best if you gotta buy the springs?

Part of the appeal of the RUF is that you are not buying new springs. And they also will flex great by moving the hangers back.

However, my rears are sagging, so putting them in the front is not really gonna cut it.

For the best flex, should I buy new rear "stock height" springs and just do the RUF with those?

Is there a better option?

You have to use 2 sets of rear springs and build a bastard pack from them otherwise they won't net u anything. One set of rear springs alone are too soft to support the weight of the front-end let alone give u any lift. Go to a junkyard and buy a used set to go along with the set u already have.

I know, but not every part on a jeep is bad. Jeeps are just the wrong combination of parts to make a good rig.

Hopfully I dont get dinged for sayin "jeep" agian on this oversensitive site. "jeep, jeep, jeep beep jeep jeep"

If we can't have a few laughs occasionally, without folks getting upset, this site just got yucky...

We all do as much as we can to help each other, and anyone else. But one person can't have fun and warnings are issued, bans are probably threatened, and happiness runs away....
