Default Body lift question...

So far i've only seen one body lift availible for the JK and thats the M.O.R.E 1" lift. And i've only seen on review on it, and that was a six speed. He had minior issues with his shifter, but my question is has anyone done it with a auto jk? I'd like to do it but its my daily driver so i don't want to screw up the shifter. I've never worked on a auto before and i don't even know if its bolted to the tranny or if its just cables...thanks in advance!

I did a 2" BL on a 5 speed before and had a little interferance with the cut out in the tub. Easy to fix. I've been told the shifters work of cable,with a 1" I would say you should have no problem.

I was thinking of a one inch body lift in 6 months or so and was kinda waiting on other options(althought the MORE kit looks fine)

I've followed everything regarding BL on this forum for months and have always seen/heard no problems for 1 inch BL with the JK. Judging by the picture of the MORE kit it is just pucks and maybe spacers under the grill assembly?

I've had a 1" BL on my TJ and YJ , but they were 5 spds. The JK is my first Auto and I believe it is cable actuated as already posted.

One of the Rubi owners here has done the 1" but I can't remember if it was Auto or 6spd
