    thats easy...

    DONT.

    its hard on the springs, driveline angles and steering geometry and other than giving you better angles doesnt actually increase your clearance because the diffs are still down in the wheels.

    the articulation is no better UNLESS...

    you do a set of flat parabolics that you then do the spring over conversion on..

    with the right set of paras over the axle you get some good flex and clearance and the vehicle still looks more or less the same from the outside.
