I just got an 92 yj with a spring over on 6" lift springs and a 3" body lift it was up there. I dont like body lifts so I am removing it in the process I found 4 broken bolts and 3 mounts torn from the body. Out of 11 body mounts only 4 where holding, body lifts should be outlawed.

I bet that thing looks stupid

What do you mean doesn't that giant gap between the frame and body look sweet.

my body lift is awesome, its a 2" or 3" on a GMC sonoma, it gives me a flat belly and room to remove the transmission and t case when I need to without a ton of hassle! all the bolts are holding except the one I tried to remove.

I would never do more than a 1" body lift

Who was it that had the 2x4 body lift?

:sonicjay: yes, but I am sure mine wasn't one of those, the bumpers, if I had any, would not match up. working on getting custom bumpers built, but shit keeps breaking.

i believe 1 inch should be the body lift max because daystar makes the 1 inch poly lift and that's awesome. my buddy did one on a 98 tj and dampened the ride a little while giving him enough room to spray mud off his frame completely.

i think the pucks that stack on the body mounts should not be allowed, but the one piece taller mounts should be acceptable.

X2 - The 1" on a TJ allows you to run a belly up pan gaining 2.5" clearance.

I wasnt trying to insult your rig, with all that added up that is a whole lot of lift, definitely the right move to take out the body lift. BTW I know my yj is a turd:sonicjay:

 

[Evilmudder]

I wouldn't say that body lifts are bad. I used to have a dodge ram with a 5" suspension and 3" body lift. Ended up taking a telephone pole head on at 45mph. Needless to say the telephone pole lost. None of the body bolts or pucks ever broke or came out.

 

[Plato2k5]

I did the 1" body lift when I did the frame off. Glad I did as it allows me to clear the dana 300 . Otherwise the floor would have to be cut.

 

[Kodiak450r]

body lifts can have some very useful applications. but doing it as a sole means of a lift is just being a cheap ass. body lifts don't make the suspension work better for bigger tires which is what you need to begin with.

:sonicjay: yes, but I am sure mine wasn't one of those, the bumpers, if I had any, would not match up. working on getting custom bumpers built, but shit keeps breaking.

Even when your truck was just on a 3" body lift it looked right. Nate did good with that little s10 of yours, even when it still had bumpers :thumb:.

 

[Freak]

yes, I like it, just needs some beefing up, the chromolie axles helped, now I blew up the tcase, so I am working on getting a 231/300 doubler put togather, then linking the suspension and putting tons on it.
