Default Can i run a 2.5 procomp suspensiom lift w/ body lift

I am going to get a 2.5" procomp 3099b susp lift w/es9000 shocks ( for a 14 wrangler sport unlimited) in order to run 35's. Will there be any issues adding a 1-2" body lift along with it?

The body lift will decrease your off road performance in my opinion. It will only serve to increase your chance of rolling. If it doesn't give your suspension more travel, it will only inhibit you. Different rules apply to the mall parking lot.

I can't think of problems other than those associated with normal lifting. Maybe someone else has more insight.

You can run 35's with a 2.5 lift only. A 1 inch body lift is not a hazard or a problem. I wouldn't do a 2". I don't run one but if I were to ... I like the MORE aluminum body lift. I've installed one before and was good quality stuff.

I'd do the suspension first and then decide. You may not want it. Make sure whatever you do. Follow all torque specs and be safe.

2.5 lift is plenty for 35's,even 37's with flat fenders.We ran a 2" body on top of our 4" worked awesome

I run a 2.5 lift with daystar 1 inch body lift and it works awesome. No different off-road. Go with it.

I like the look of the daystar BL. How was the install. Did it come with longer mount bolts? Is there any squeaking or other issues? Etc. I've seen this kit but never gotten any real feedback from someone who actually has it.

Thanks guys! I agree, I'll wait until the lift is pit on to decide if I want a body lift. I will look into the day star body lift as well

The install is simple. All you need is a high lift jack and I did it by myself in about a hour. No squeaking and rides like stock. Only problem was the two front spacers needed a little shaving for grill not to stick out but dremel fixes that fast.
