1" body lift

**84jeepjohn** · 05-09-2008, 00:18

well I got the body lift on.. it was about 3 hours for the install.
I pulled my fan shroud, but I'll put it back in later. I also did not put in the steering shaft. I figured it will be easier to do without the front axle under there tomorrow or sat.

Now being that my body mounts are like 23 years old I got about an inch and a half out of this LOL. ALSO I GOT ALL THE BOLTS OUT

none were too bad (even the DS rear where I have the cross member bent to crap.

this was super easy to do and I recomend this for anyone with an older Jeep that needs body mounts
Here is an overall shot

Here is one from the front

Here is the bad one DS rear

and after

I've got a lip that covers MOST of the back

and a side shot

looks good. That is a sharp looking jeep.

That is a sweet looking rig!

Good job on the install. I'll be following in your footsteps soon.

One question: are those BF Goodrich MT's? If not what are they and what size are the tires?

Thanks,
Joel

Good job man, wish my daystar had red pucks

**84jeepjohn** · 05-09-2008, 09:25

thanks guys. if there are any specific questions please ask away.

I took a bunch more before and after pics (did not get too many durring though)

I'm just having my morning coffee (damn coffe maker broke this morning... had to get a new one) getting ready to head back up and start on gears and lockers

Yeah those are the BFG KM2 Muds (I guess they would be the second gen now)
and they are 35". I've had them on there since 01-02

They do offer them in Red or Black. Georgia's YJ has the 1" BL by Daystar in Black.

I guess I should've paid more attention to your signature for the info on the tires. But, hey...they look good. I'm thinking of going with 33's or 35's. BFG's look nice.

What gears are you looking at going to?

**enil01** · 05-09-2008, 11:56

Looks great. I've been back and forth on doing the hockey puck lift as part of a tummy tuck on the ol' girl.

I'll be doing the JKS 1.25" lift here in a while.

84jeepjohn - do you ever find yourself short on overhead clearance when driving through parking garages or what not?

I just installed the 4.88's and an OX in the rear today, and I'm doing the 4.88's and another OX in the front tomorrow

It was a LONG DAY TODAY

Well before the BL when we were in San Antonio... I do not remember haveing issues. I can still get in the garage

so that's a good thing. I should have like 3" left before I get into troubble LOL Granted it REALLY made a difference when I "tried" to get into it
