Anyone running the Daystar(part number KJ04520BK) Cab & body mount JEEP JK 1" BODY LIFT? I'd like to add it to my 3/4" leveling kit to help clear 33" tires with no rubbing on the trail. The cost of the body lift is kind of expensive, $195.99 from Quadratec.
I like the idea of a body lift because it won't change the drive line angles on my automatic 2 door. I've heard of problems with factory driveshafts angles and I've seen pictures of exploded transfer cases because of aftermarket driveshafts. What do you think?

 

That's the route I took b4 I added the TF 2.5" coil lift....I installed the 1" M.O.R.E body lift and was running 33s...Have you looked into other brands of body lifts? I remember purchasing mine for a little over a $100, but not more than $195 Been running the BL for more than a year and no problems

1" BL w/33s



2.5" TF coil lift w/1" BL on 33s

 

And waht happes with the two shifts, the gear shift and the other one (I don't know the name in English)?. When you fit the body lift they go down, don't they?.

I think that in 6 speed ones you must cut the rubber to allow gears come in, but, what about automatic ones?. Any work to be done?.

And, in both cases, with 1" body lift, isn't it uncomfortable to drive with both shifts 1" lower?. Or, if it's uncomfortable, are there any shift extensions in the market to make shifts come back to their original height?.

One more question: Are body lifts very difficult to fit by just one person who's never been involved in mechanics, or it is nos a hard work?.

 

This is my wife's jeep with the Performance Accessories 1" body lift and 3/4" spacer in the front to level on 33s.

 

I installed a PA 1" bl on my 07 Rubi last month, it's an auto, and I have had 0 issues. Install was a breeze, took me about 2 1/2 hours alone, and that was really taking my time!!
I have that plus the Rusty's 3.25".

 

I don't quite understand the shift outer boot thing.

And I am going to get a 1" BL at the same time I get a 2" BB. My 33s will be TINY for sure.

 

Thanks for the input everyone. You guys got me looking at the Performance Accessories body lift. Strangely, they don't list a 1" body lift for the JK with an automatic transmission.
