LOST JEEPS :: View topic - Jeff Daniels Jeep Experience with JBA Lift

I am interested in the jba lift to more the 4" to not limit myself with the 2.5" lift. I few things thou that scare me.
1. brakeline mod on the 4"-easy to do
2. possible more chance of roll over due to higher center of gravity the higher lift u go.-Highly unlikely unless your a idiot
3. warranties. I got the extra bumper to bumper.serms that based on what I hear is that each dealership may state diiferent things about lifts. seems like a 2" lift and tire to more than 4% will not void other items directly related to lift parts. ie: the tranny or engine.

Hi all, This is my first post since recieving my kk in november of this year. I love the thing and am itching to get the jba 2.5" lift. I am in the SE PA area and notice that JEff Daniels Jeep is located near me and is an authorized installer (I am not confident enough nor do I have the garage or tools to do so myself). I was wondering if anybody has had this kit installed by Jeff Daniels and what their experience was like. I do want to get it lifted but am scared of being a guinea pig as this is my only vehicle. Also, is this something that would void warranty as it is a spring lift, not a spacer lift...I am assuming that would be the case. Thanks for your help.

A 4" lift and 245/75r16 might be okay other than rear brakes and ???? ie:ESP and other roll over features not set for a lift. I have heard 235/75r16 might fit on a 2.5"lift but will rub hard when offroading. also with either lift u loose power. I'm still all stock and yesterday it was 70 degrees and I was drivingup the grapevine with my wife no gear and maxed out at 85. did not try to drop it into a lower gear or take off overdrive by pressing the tow/haul button but hmm with mch bigger tires and a 2000 # boat or toy I wonder how slow I would be crawling up that hill. my 1993 s10 blazer 4.3 could push 80 up that hill towing.

if you are afraid for your warranty just keep a set of stock tires on cheap rims and if something ever happens , just put on the stockers before you go to the dealer. Thats what my salesman told me

Yeah that's a lot of work and extra money for new rims. Could keep the tires and switch them if something bad happened. But I bet if I went to the same dealership they would KNOW!
