why don't they make body lifts for xj's? and what exactly is a body lift?? thanks for the help!

 

because honestly you dont need a body lift for an xj

but most people just use the same kit as wranglers. it doesnt say in the description but these will also fit cherokees

Wow that is a dumb question, but I give respect that you at least admit it lol the Cherokee has a uni-body/uni-frame. If you google that, it should explain enough for you to understand why we don't have one. Good luck man!

 

Lmao

 

A body lift lifts the body higher off the frame as opposed to a suspension lift that lifts the frame higher than the suspension components. The xj is a unibody vehicle. The frame is part of the body, permanently welded to the floorboards. Therefore it is not possible to to use a body lift.

 

Uniframe, not unibody.

 

This should be posted in OEM Tech.

To expand on this, a classical body-on-frame vehicle is literally as it sounds. The frame can exist independently and the body is bolted on.



Jeep made a departure from this model with the XJ by making the frame of thinner metal and omitting the top, and welding the body directly to it. This saves a lot of weight and is one of the reasons the XJ performs so well offroad.




This design integrates the frame and body, however the frame is still present as a design element and supports most of the vehicle's weight. However, unlike a full frame, it does not have to provide rigidity. This is passed off to the welded-on body.

A unibody has no frame and everything is secured to a monocoque design.

 

hahahahaha this guy

 

Yeah a jeep xj is unibody and can't body lift something that don't have a frame under it like a truck does.And really a body lift on anything is the worse kinda lift to use.On a pickup it kills any bed payload ratting it has and stuff like shifter and t case linkage has to be lengthen.

 

Damn it atmos lol
