Yes I've got a 2001 tj and was wondering if putting a body
lift on it is a good idea 3" body to help clear my 33 when
my jeep flexes good idea or bad let me know.
I personaly would not go over 1"to 1 1/4"BL.That is what I'm
running with 3" coils and I clear 33's no probs.If you want
to go the cheap way go with 1 1/4 " BL with 2" coil spring
lift (BB) and that will clear 33" not the best for off
roading tho.
Agreed, I wouldnt go any more than 1-1 1/4" body. I only
did a body lift (1 1/4" here) on mine to help clear the low
pro skid plate I will be installing. I would trust a budget
boost more than anything taller for the body... a budget
boost will prob. be easier too, I lifted my motor 1" with my
body lift to help clear things, but with anything higher,
you start running into shift linkage issues, fan shroud
issues, and who knows what else. It may sound easy and
cheap, but is it really?
Another thing to consider is how it looks. When you do a
tall body lift there is a noticable gap between the frame
and body. Most people, myself included, do not think all
that space looks good.Grape for President!!!!
Yes I think I would find a used lift before a body lift,
raises your center of gravity, and doesn't look all that
appealing either.. or maybe even go coilspacers..
I have a 3" BL on my 97 and it looks fine and I have 33X12.5
BFG and lots of clearance. I'm going to add a 2" SL soon. Up
to personal preference really.
I have a 2004 Unlimited Rubicon with 3" suspension and 2"
body( Yes I know it came with a 2" lift but it was to soft),
I made my own side skirts to hide the gaps for under $20 and
it looks dam good I might say but it"s all on what you
like, Just remember body lifts are for looks and small
improvements in clearance it will do nothing for wheel
travel or any improvement to your rigs off road
capabilities, except tire size.So have fun, but do you
homework because once its installed you can't get you money
back and starting over is expensive. jeep wave atcha. Under a black flag we shall sail!

Im not a big fan of body lifts I dont like the way they
look, thats why I went with the suspension lift (no
gap)."RULE YOU LIFE, DON'T LET YOUR LIFE RULE YOU!"
