Opinions On A Body Lift?
 

I've been trying to plan what I want to do down the road and a buddy of mine mentioned a body lift. I have a 4 1/2 suspension lift already and feel that it would be a waste to swap in for a 6 (the 4 1/2 is fairly recent).

So what are your opinions? Yes, no, maybe so? What are the pros and cons?

I'm not sure if you have checked...but Cherokees/Grand Cherokees don't have frames they are all unibodies so a body lift is impossible and not trying to be mean or anything just saying...

Yea you know I mentioned that to him but he was pretty sure I could. Haha that's the last time I listen to him on that kind of stuff.
Anywho. Thanks for clearing that up

No problem before i actually got my XJ i thought i could do that too but then once i looked i learned otherwise...kinda sucks but oh well at least they are nice and light

Yea it's a shame.. Oh well. Learn something new everyday.
Guess I'll have to be happy with a 4.5
I appreciate the info

Yea no problem
you can always do a spacer if you want 2 inches more...you've got a grand right? so it'd be 2 inch spacers front and back

Yea I have a grand and yea I guess that could be an option. Is that legit? I've always hear people mention them like they're sketchy or something

Yea coil spacers are fine as far as i've read i don't know from personal experience but my friends got 6.5 on his XJ using 2 inch spacers and his rides just fine
i'm sure one of the more experienced guys on here will chime in soon enough though

Alright cool. In the mean time I'll try to research em a little more

spacers are fine. thats all i have on mine and it give me jsut enought flex for what i want.. for now.

From what i've seen and read daystar makes some of the best spacers...but again i'm not that experienced i'm only 18 learnin as i go haha sorry

Yea I'm only 17 and it's the same for me. If I put in the spacers I might have to replace other parts too.. I need to consider that

well i guess its all in what you want to do with it
my friend had a ZJ with 33s on it stock he just cut up his flares and his tires eventually lost the tread where they rubbed lol
but i can only imagine how big of tires he would have ran with 4.5 inches of lift haha

Haha stuffing 37's in it most likely. I'm hoping that the spacers won't start a chain reaction of replacing. Shocks, arms, steering components..

they wont.
