from my understanding there is a lot involved in a soa
just to fit 35's
body lift and gaurd trim would do that (correct me if wrong guys)
lots less $$$ and easier too i should imagine
plus you have swb
doing soa makes em a lil too high from wat i have been told
not impossibly high tho lol

what stroked said.. but at the end of the day if u want to fit 39's u will need to do a SOA,, or a hell of a lot of chopping.. I had a SWB MK 2" body 4"spring (sagged badly) and the only place 35's scrubed was on the very front of the front gaurds and the indicator gaurd

if you don't like the scrubing extend your bump stops.
I think scrubing on a mq/mk is life, just learn to live with it.

Dont need to lower the tranny case......
The amount of lift will set the pinion angle.... how much lift ?
How to calculate the angle was discussed on the forum a few years back, I'm sure I put the info in the Bible.....
