Body lift after suspension?
I'm putting a 3" suspension lift on my 96 ZJ this weekend. Is it wise to put a body lift on it later on down the road? I'm asking because I'd like to fit tires that are less the 33" total diameter. Will they fit with just the 3" lift and not rub? Or do I need to cut?

A body lift is impossible on an XJ, WJ, ZJ, WK or any Cherokee or Grand Cherokee (except the old FSJs). We don't have frames. You may need fender cutting to fit 33s on 3" but I don't know ZJs that well.

This has got to be the nicest forum on the internet.. I've seen so many threads on here that the guy would have been torn apart in the first few reply's in any other forum... You guys have some serious restraint..

As far as the body lift goes, ill explain plain and simple, its impossible. you cant do it, unless you throw a frame under it.

34s with about 3.5" of lift. Pounded back pinch seam and trimmed front bumper. No rubbing while driving. Im sure anything flexed they would rub bad. Could use longer rear control arms to push them back in the wheel well but they do fit!
31" Tires that I DD with.
