Hi I have 3 inch BDS lift on my JKU! My local shop suggest me that I add 1 inch body lift because now I have 35 inch tires ! I dont want to go this route so I send a message to BDS and answer pretty quick!! Here is the e mail I got :

Thank you for choosing BDS Suspension Systems. We do offer a spacer kit when added to the Jk and removing the factory coil isolator will net 1" of total lift height. I would recommend you add the front adjustable track bar when adding 1" to the 3" system. The part numbers are listed below, please let me know if you need anything else.

Anyone tried this ???

 

Anyone?

 

I have the BDS 3in lift with 35x12.50r17 toyo mt's I've had zero clearing issues for 2yrs now. Not sure why you would need the extra inch

 

Should be ok i know my zone offroad 3" lift uses the same shocks as the 4" lift. I currently have spacers in with no problems.

 

3" is plenty of lift for 35's. If you want more clearance, I would cut the fenders.

 

I have this exact setup. Adding the 1" spacer really changed the ride of my JK. Bumpsteer became very noticeable and the ride stiffer. I ended up changing my shocks, adding AEV brackets, and the EVO draglink flip to remedy it. If you want to gain an extra inch, I would go body lift or flat flares.

 

You should be fine with the 3" lift and 35s. If you are looking for more flex I would look at flat fenders.

I think your shop is just looking for more of your cash.

 

Although mine is a 2dr, BDS makes body-type specific lifts, unlike other manufacturers. I have the 3" and 35x12.5r17 Yokohama Geolandars and it has had no issues.

 

Coill spacer will be cheaper!!!

 

Sure, but really don't need either.

Just install the tires and see if you want more room. Spacers are cheaper, but may negatively impact the ride and not provide as much flex as flat fenders. You could also just trim your own for next to nothing.
