Default Body Lift Raises Side Steps?

I had a quick question...

If i install a 1" BL like daystar's would that raise the side steps as well or would the side steps be the same height?

(Don't have a JK yet so i don't know if its frame mounted or body mounted)
Thanks!

If the daystar lift works the same way as the MORE body lift then the answer is no. For these lifts you add the spacer and then add longer bolts. Most side steps attach to the frame not the body.

they are mounted to the body so unless the body lift comes with something to keep them the same but you'd want them to follow with the body

MOPAR sidesteps are body attached, or at least mine are so the answer would be "yes"
