Body lift

I've looked everywhere and can't find a 1 inch body lift. I need to get one more inch of lift.

If you're planning on doing a body lift on the KJ you'll need to break out the cutting torch. We don't have a separate frame underneath, just what Jeep calls a 'uni-frame' which is just a modified uni-body construction.

No such thing as a body lift for a KJ,just like there is no such thing as a body lift for a XJ or the existance of a '96 Wrangler.

I have a body lifted KJ, a '96 Wrangler, and an '83 Corvette along with a '51 Thunderbird with a 94 DeSoto 440 Hemi!!

the only thing thats around that would be the daystar 1.5/2" spacer or to do a 3 or 4 ring clevis and 2 extra rear upper iso's and that

Sheesh. Some people just don't get the trolling attempt...... :lol:

I was just going to use 2X4s in between the body and frame...but I can't find the bolts that hold the two together. :lol:

Yes it will be hard to do since you will be using both wood to raise it and then onto metal parts, so do you use wood or metal screws/bolts. I would assume that it would depend on which end is which, up or down, sideways or :twisted:

Drilling will also become a problem since as soon as you drill through the wood you will need to switch to metal drill bits. Big job for sure! :roll:

What if I stacked and used two daystar spacers. And put 4 upper iso's in the rear

wouldnt work, if you want a daystar spacer there is one in the 'for sale' section thats a 1.5" front and 2" rear for $50 thas pre-assembled already, it a real good deal considering that a new one will cost about $150

Would I be able to stack that with a frankin lift. I want to be able to clear 35's.

jsc7002 · **Posted:** Mon Apr 21, 2008 6:39 pm

no, do you have the frankenlift already?? thats as high as you can really go now unless JBA has his lift all done, and therer is NO WAY to clear 35" on the KJ unless you do a SFA

oh my god......... please do not encourage this guy into doing something stupid. 35's will NEVER fit on an IFS kj. An when i say never i mean it. So unless your willint to throw 15000+ at your truck then forget about the 35's.
