Default 3" lift and 1.25" body lift... anyone have any pics... getting mine done.

I'm running a 3" BDS lift on my new 2 door, I have 35 Mickeys on it and it works great, but I want a bit more lift so I ordered a RC 1.25 body lift and also going to install 3/4" coil spacers in the front to level it out.
If anyone has any pics or feedback that would be awesome.

The body lift really does nothing but make your jeep a bit less stable both on road and off. Are you doing it just for looks or are you looking for some kind of improvement in performance?

What rear bumper is that? I don't see a gap. Sorry for the hijack but op you may want to consider cutting your fenders first

It is a Bestop high rock bumper and tire carrier. Bushwhacker flat fenders are next.

Well got the 1.25 body lift on... the only reason I did it was to make sure the tires would have room to clear the stock flares. I think it looks better as well. Easy install and good quality kit. Couple hours and it was done. Click image for larger version
