Question adding a 1" body lift....help?

Hey all...

i was wondering what your take is on body lifts, im more curious about the actual technical aspect of the install. is this something that i could do myself? is it really as hard as it seems in the instructions?

also, does anyone have a kit that they recommend?

i already have a 2.5" budget boost and am looking to get 305/75/16's in the near future

Its a piece of cake. Did mine myself in less than an hour. You can easily do this yourself. Make sure you have a good hammer, the heavier the better to knock the the washers off of the bolts if you go with the M.O.R.E. Also, a large 1" or so socket is also helpful as you can rest the bolt/washer on it and knock the bolt through. You'll see once you get into it that it is easy to install.

Do it, I did my Daystar alone in my neighbors driveway. I have done BL on YJ and TJ and the JK is by far the easiest of them all. I recommend the Daystar. You can't see the pucks and they are wider than the other manufactures to spread the load.

I have the Tera 2.5 also and it all looks good with 35s. Of course 37s and a full lift would be nice too!
