yep. can't match the lift in the front w/o a SAS. switching to just a SOA will give you close to 5" or so of lift. Front IFS can't be lifted to match. So unless you like to sit very ass-high, it's a waste of your time.
Maybe you didn't read his answer........A SOA conversion can net no less than 4-5" of lift. This is the height gained from the leaf pack and the diameter of the axle tube. There is no way to minimize it unless you use leaves with negative arch.
