Can I put a 1" body lift on my 98 TJ

Jan 25, 2004 8 Replies

@ 1/2 inch suspenstion lift with 33 x12 1/2 tires. i'd like to add a little more clearance. I heard that a two inch body lift won't work with A/C. Any suggestions, prices, sites? Thanks in advance George



98 TJ 2..5, soft top, 5 speed, 2 1/2 coil lift

PS Who sells those seat lifts?


I think you need a 3" suspension + a 1" body for 33s.

I wouldn't put more than a 1" body lift on, regardless. Of course, this is coming from a guy who refuses to body lift his own vehicles...period. Hey, but it looks good on you! :)

Why not just change out the coils for 4"?

ditto.

Saw a YJ with a 3" body lift once - it wobbled like a jelly. Selling s*it like that seems irresponsible.

I think you can over-do anything. I needed to replace my body mounts, so I opted for polyurethane bushings that were an inch taller than stock. I am happy with it, it doesn't look retarded, and it isn't wobbly.

Sure, can't see a problem with a 1" body lift.

Well, hell, Bill, I thought we already established that I don't have a "real" Jeep. :-)
