I've been an XJ owner for about 9 months now. I'm totally hooked. I've found a ton of useful information on this sight and I've made many repairs using advice from this sight that I didn't find in my Haynes manual. One thing I'm curious about is the advantage of a unibody over a body on frame design. I'd rather hear what you guys have to say about.

Thanks

 

probably none

 

less weight maybe.

 

Weight, cost and better ride are the main advantages, but you lose durability.

 

none

 

You dont see XJ's with 10" of body lift on stock suspension.

 

absolutely.. i hate that..

look at my huge truck!!!... good for you. its a body lift.. stock suspension..

they just look bad with a huge gap between the body and frame.. looks really bad

 

Im looking to put 29s or 30s on until I can get my lift.

 

Weight would be the only thing. I agree with the body lift being stupid. every vehicle I have seen looks horrible in my book.

 

body lifts are one FUGLY two cheap and cheesy three ruin the body of the car cuz the strenght is gone, they have no purpose.
