For those of you who are looking for an easy and economical way to get just a little more room under the flares to fit slightly bigger tires, Mountain Off-Road Enterprises has just released their new Jeep JK 1" Body Lift. Click below for more details and to see a larger image of the kit:

Any info on installation yet.. Radiator lowering / Shift linkage / etc ???

From what I have been told, installation should be easier than it was on the TJ's. No lowering of the radiator or fan shroud is necessary as the JK's now have an electric fan. As far as the T-Case shifter goes, I am told that no linkage drop bracket is needed and I can only guess this is because of the way it is attached to the transfer case. Basically, everything you see in the kit is all that you will need

Most body lifts don't make any sense. Especially this one. It cost's more than the Full Traction Budget Boost, gives you less lift, takes more time to install, and increases stress on the body mounts.

4 strikes you're out.

No thanks.

It won't cause any issues on the transfer case shifter since in the JK the shifter is connected to the transfer case using a cable.

That's why the transfer case shifter operates so smoothly in the JK.

I agree, no thanks. Im not a big one for body lifts.

But thanks wayoflife for posting it.

Why? It's just a basic 1" body lift?

But who ever said that a body lift should be installed as an alternative to a suspension lift? If you read my press release, I think I clearly stated that it can be a great compliment to one.

I don't know about you but every 1" body lift that I have installed has only taken me 45mins - 1hr to do. Every budget boost I have installed has taken 2-3 hours. But then, as I said before, a body lift should not be used as an alternative to a suspension lift. Also, for whatever it's worth, I have in the past used a 1" body lift in conjunction to a 2" BB on my TJ to allow me an economical way to run 32" tires and I still think it was one of the better setups that I ran

With anything over 1", I would have to agree with this but we are talking specifically about a 1" body lift

Thanks for the heads up on the shifter. I had a feeling it was changed to be connected to the transfer case itself but didn't know for sure yet.

I think that a 1" body lift is a great idea for the TJ. I just don't think that it's necessary for the JK. You can fit such large tires with such small lift it kinda makes you not need that little extra. If someone is going to really use 35" tires offroad, then they will probably want the extra travel and suspension control afforded by replacement coils. They probably won't be satisfied with the stock suspension with spacers and the BL.

Now if that person then wanted to fit 37's with that extra 1", I can see that.

But for most mild rigs I just don't see where it will fit into most people's plans.

This is all just my opinion. That's what I like about forums. Everyone can give their own opinion and readers can decide what to do for themselves.

And if you don't think that a 1" BL puts more stress on the mounts you're wrong. Ask any engineer. It may not be as much as taller BLs, but the increase is there. I agree that it is probably an acceptable increase with this small lift, I just wanted to throw it out there. A lot of uninformed people think that a BL is a Bl is a BL. And that is most certainly not the case.

sounds great this is exactly what i was waiting for. now with my 3" lift i can run 37" on my 2dr with less stress on the drivelines right?
