Point well taken but why not just cut the fenders and put on bigger tires, even if you did a 6 inch body lift you can only gain 3 inches of frame clearence when a 4inch suspension lift can get up to 6 inches more frame clearence and its not lame.

Didn't mean to upset you but body lifts do have a purpose is all I was saying.

There is form and function to both a suspention and a body lift. Don't forget that a well thought out body lift can add to the overall look of your rigs stature, plus there friggn cheap. Just head down to your local sporting goods store and buy a case of hockey pucks, go home and throw 'em in the drill press, and viola, 1" body. Want more lift, add more pucks. Heres the link: http://www.modells.com/product/index...000%2F00002000
1" lift for $20. Not to shabby.

But yeah theres no body lift for us XJ guys. I'm glad though. It sets us apart.
