I know there are not many people on here with jk but I follow that jk forums a little because I dream of owning a 4 door jk but need to mod the libby first. Anyway was looking on bds site and they make a 2 inch body lift for the jk. Other than the M.O.R.E body lift this is the first other one I have seen Just a cheap way to gain 2 more inches if anyone was looking for body lifts. I know if I were to buy a jk I would go with a 3 inch full traction lift and a 2 inch body lift. Five inches lift and not to hard on the driveline as for going to a 4 inch kit. But I am just dreaming :lol:

I havent been browsin the JK forums either, but from what little the Rubi JK owners have posted on ours, the 4dr DS is MUCH longer (obviously) than the TJs and the LJs so a 4" lift would probably let you keep the stock DS...this is on a 4dr mind you. If I were you, anything more than a 1.25" BL is about as high as I would go. I have the 1.25" JKS bl and it was more than enough for that little bit of extra room to do things like a TT, raise the gas tank skid, and just get that little extra clearance for the meats. IMHO there are only 11 bolts (maybe different on the JKs) on my TJ that hold the body in place...I would not trust all the extra weight of the body on those bolts when it is raised another .75" (2" bl) Just IMHO guys 8)
