It looks like it's a combination of body lift and spacer lift totaling 4" (they also throw in some gap guards to hide the space the body lift creates between the tub and the frame). But they don't provide the size of lift each one contributes.

If it's a 3" spacer and a 1" body lift - the spacer is too tall
If it's a 2" spacer and a 2" body lift - the body lift is too tall, at least on the JK
If it's a 1" spacer and a 3" body lift - YIKES !!! Stay away!!

I assume $ is the issue here. If so, go with a Teraflex 2.5" Budget Boost kit and a 1" body lift, you'll be much happier in the longrun.

thanks for the reply


no dollars are not the issue here .. just looking to gain a little more extra hight after installing the new bumper and winch . front has gone down a bit ..

i have the 4 inch bds lift in .. as well 35" mtr/z ... was thinking it should just go up from a body lift . but since you said that no going more then 1 inch from body lift them i will stay away and maybe just lookingo pricing out the 6 inch springs and shocks from bds .. ( swap out the 4 inch coils and shocks for the larger ones . ) ..

A 1" BL is perfect as an easy way to gain some lift for cheap and without having to make any other modifications to the Jeep (like lengthening hoses, brake lines, etc). When you go 2" or more in BL, some attention now has to be paid to those extra modifications.

I think that this is a 2" spacer lift and a 2" body lift. I saw the install in a magazine a month or two ago, and it really wasn't that great looking.

This is a 2" body lift, and it doesn't look good:

Default Body lift?

Whats your input on a 6inch susp. kit and a 2 inch body lift? how does the body lift look when you have susp. work done. i have 37's now and I'm wanting alittle taller truck and the ability to later run 40's or 42's.

Any thoughts on tire carriers guy?

Thanks

J

It would look the same as that pic, except the JK would be taller.
