Hey, new guy here....Has anyone tried a body lift on the JK as a lift option yet? I see BDS has one available. I believe it is a 2". Here is a link to their site. It is on the front page. Looks pretty simple. I am thinking this with a 2-3" suspension and 37's would be pretty sweet. I have a 3" w/ 35's now and they clear just fine. What do you guys think?

Hey Big M;7649, welcome to JK-Forum! Regarding body lifts, this really should be a lift of last resort and certainly anything over 1" is way too much. Although a body lift will allow you to to install bigger tires, it'll do nothing to increase ground clearance and they look really ugly.

I don't see body lifts as a last resort for those on a budget. This thread was leaning toward the budget style lifts and a body lift (~$200) definately fits into that catagory. Agreed that some body lifts are not very appealing aesthetically, but they are an excellent way to add more tire clearance. True ground clearance should be measured at the axle. A 37" tire will give more axle clearance then a 35". In the Jeep world the benefit can be to gain the extra clearance while keeping the CG lower compared to gaining the same amount of lift with all suspension.

I am not saying everyone should go out and buy a body lift but it is still reasonable option. Just like suspension lifts, body lifts have come a long way in the last few years. They are just blocks and bolts anymore.
