it would be fine, but why are you doing it? if it is for looks then you need to consider the large gap you are going to have between the body and the frame. most dont like the way this gap looks. with 3 inchs of lift you can easily run 37's with flat fenders.
im running 2.5 inches of lift with a 1.25 body lift and flat fenders and can fit my 37's perfectly.

1" body is the most popular I am also wondering why you want that much lift? I have a Tf 2.5" coil with 37s no body lift and clears good.

This attitude that body lifts are a bad thing is ridicules. they serve a purpose and have their place on certain rigs.

Exactly. I have used body lifts on every Jeep I have had and if done right you can't even tell it's there.(meaning covering the gaps correctly) You can't on mine. With that said, no way would I add any body lift to the JK over 1.25. Not to mention on th JK is is so easy to install.
