Best Body Lifts for 2015 JKU (special edition models)
So I just found out that most body lifts will not fit a special Moab Edition, such as mine the Freedom Edition. Anyone know any good body lift companies that will work with mine? I have a 4 door with manual trans.
Thanks in advance.

I've never really researched body lifts, much less on special editions. Mind me asking what's different on the special editions that causes a conflict? I wouldn't think there'd be anything there around the body mounts that is any different than any other JK.

Thats what I was wondering... I know mostly anything over 1 or 1.25 inch body lifts requiring cutting around the shifter boot or adding an extension to the shifter... I called several different companies... Rough County and Performance Access. and both stated that it won't fit any special Moab Editions but don't have an explanation... I talk to Quadratec and 4wheelparts and they try telling me that the manufactures are wrong or misunderstood me or where just rude and hung up... ha...
All I know for my "Freedom Edition" there are silly differences like decals and interior items... nothing having to do with the body itself. So thats what brings me here... trying to see if anyone knows anything about this situation... this is my seventh Jeep so adding a lift is nothing new... until recently finding out that these editions are apparently "different" in some way...

I've never understood the thought process behind a body lift on anything other than an old s-box Chevy blazer or tractor tired mud truck ...With so many other options for the JK I'd think a simple spring spacer would be the better/easier option

All that said. I did a leveling kit, Teraflex Performance Leveling kit (springs), and a 1" body. I use the Daystar body lift because the spacers are the same shape as the OEM. https://www.morris4x4center.com/1-bo...kj04520bk.html

Clearly you're going for looks, but you should ditch the idea of a body lift entirely. There's absolutely no need for it, go buy a coil spacer lift aka "spacer lift." Save yourself the terrible woes of a body lift, not to mention how disgusting it looks and the fact that you don't gain any suspension travel.

Here I'll confuse you even more. I will be doing a 2 1/2" Teraflex lift in the near future.
Why because. It's been 4 years with a leveling kit and it's time for a change. Merry Christmas.
