Jeep Wrangler TJ Body lift reviews
If you’re looking to get a few more inches so that you can install bigger tires on your TJ, then a body lift can be what you’re looking for. A body lift is simply spacers that go between the frame and the body of your Jeep Wrangler TJ. It doesn’t change your suspension at all, but can allow you to install larger tires.
A body lift (also called a spacer lift kit), is exactly what the name implies – a spacer inserted between the body and the frame of your Jeep. These spacers will raise the body of your Jeep up, and allow you to run larger tires. While the body lift itself won’t allow you to go over bigger rocks, running the larger tires that the body lift allows will.
The Good:
- It’s cheap
- It’s easy to install (a couple of hours with common hand tools
- Doesn’t change the ride or suspension of your TJ at all
The Bad
- Too much body lift can cause problems. It will put a strain on the bolts that connect your Jeep’s body to the frame, and in the event of a accident, or impact, these bolts can break. The JWP crew like to keep body lifts under 2 inches.
- A big body lift looks goofy
