Looking for a spoa kit for the Sj, and don't know if I trust the ones on eBay.com
Rhino ray said there is none in stock so just curious if there's anywhere that sells a similar kit to rays, with everything I'll need in it

Never seen any other than rays kit. Most SPOA kits are DIY jobs.

Why do you want to go SPOA? what size tyres do you want to run?

Looking to run 33s and was thinking spoa as it'll give me a decent lift for extra clearance

There's other ways to fit 33s
but it does involve some body mods.

Cutting into foot wells?
Could be a plan, although I must admit I was and still am liking the ideal of big lift, and help keep stabibility with spacers and the wider wheels
How are they on 33s with out spoa?

Big lift doesn't really have many advantages, SJs have good breakover, approach and departure angles anyway so adding loads of lift doesn't really make much of a difference apart from raising the centre of gravity, adding too much width isn't a good thing with SJs either in my opinion, means you can no longer squeeze through gaps stock ones can, mine is too wide so I'm fitting narrower wheels and tyres, plus the more offset/wider wheels you run the quicker wheel bearings fail.
How are they on 33s without spoa? Better than with spoa that's for sure! With power steering and the 1.6 it drives the same as a standard sj, If not better. I can even go around corners at 50mph and it doesn't feel like it's going to fall over

Just post up on the forum with any questions bud, everyone on here is very helpful.
Virtual lifts are a good route though, especially if your arches are rotting out like most of them are, would be a shame to do it if the shell is really solid though.

I would but my front end isn't at all rusty... it would look weird if I just did the back!
