Um, they are a unibody, no frame, so you can't put a body lift on them.

As long as you can fab a frame on that ZJ's uni body then you're on your way to putting body lifts on it... Lots of work is needed to be done for this...

Ball joints aren't too hard with the right tool. You can rent a Ball Joint Press at most auto part stores.
