Default Belly Up?

Does anyone make a belly up kit for the JK?

You mean the tummy tucker kits like the ones for the TJ's? If so, the belly is already pretty flat compared with the TJ's. I don't know how much more clearance, if any, you could get.

Yeah kinda like that. I've seen ones on the TJ's where the lowest piece underneath is the frame. Everything else is raised up and in. It looked like doing that with a 2" lift and 35's gave as much if not more clearance than no belly up with a 4" lift and 35's while keeping the center of gravity lower... I've yet to see anything like this for the JKs...

I wish we could... there is at least 2 inches that could be tucked up. However, not as easy as the TJ because of the cross members on the frame. The are above the gas tank and tranny so you would have to make some serious modification to move up the gas tank and tranny.

Maybe that's why I haven't heard anything about this for a JK... too bad. Hopefully someone comes up with a solution.
