Well only because you used the saying, 'shit in everyone's cheerios', all is forgiven hahahaha that was pretty good, never heard that one before

 

He's a Marine, that was a very nice asshole quote!

 

Ouch. The kits aren't garbage. Most of these kits are being sold to Jeepers that want to run over 40" tires. We've produced them for years for extreme applications. The primary reason these are used is to allow tire clearance while keeping the center of gravity as low as possible (note: frame is heavery than body).

There are many parts of U.S. and Canada where "clearance" can be a liability. Quite often, these kits are being combined in order to achieve a good balance of lift and clearance for tires by folks that really know what they are doing.

Yates

I would just like to point out (and praise) the professionalism (especially in a forum) of yates, for not just going off and giving the rational explanation for the kits.

 

I got a BBL (Teraflex) and 35". I don't need the added clearance in the fenders, it just clears fine, but my rear bumper is stock, so spare is heavy on the gate (I know this is discussed elsewhere...too tight budget to get a bumper and tire carrier...)

Question, would a 1" body lift make my 35" clear the rear bumper to avoid the extension on the stock spare holder ? I figure getting the tire closer to the gate is easyer on it ....

 

The frame is heavier than the body?

I'm assuming you mean the center of gravity stays lower if you JUST lift the body without lifting the frame and drivetrain,

 

Not quite a Zombie thread, only 4 months old. Yates is correct here the body lift is meant to be an addtion to a suspension lift and serves its purpose very nicely. This is the kosher thing not there is anything wrong from an engineering point of view with only a BL.

If one just adds a body lift from the lifted 4x4 crowd you will get the reaction JK Marine had possibly put in a more polite way. I usually use the terms dweeb, jack a$$, dumb a$$, or moron but only in my head. I would never insult a guy on the street for at least trying. Now if my son was talking about just adding a body lift to his 4x4 I'd explain to him the reason for such a lift and then if he kept it up I'd slap him upside the head.

As I have learned from my Romanian friends the word "douche" means shower. Romanian is one of the four Latin based languages. Obviously the advertisers of the feminine hygiene product used it to make it sound exotic to us Americans. So the term “shower bag” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.
