Jeep Wrangler Tj - 4+1” Body Lift Install For High Clearance Mods

Keeping the stock Tj look has always been my goal for this build and it’s time to get a bit more serious with the modifications needed to properly run larger tires. In this video the red tj gets a 1” body lift. Adding no more than 1.25” will allow us to do a tummy and gas tank tuck for higher clearances when taking on obstacles, without sacrificing center of gravity and changing driveshaft angles. I don’t advocate anymore than 1.25” for these mods, but it is possible have a combination of 3” lift and 2” or 4”+2” body lift to get the 5” or 6” needed to properly clear larger tires. Another strategy other than lowering the radiator is to lift the engine mounts 1” to accommodate the body lift, but this route changes driveshaft angles, but may raise you exhaust enough to clear a tummy tuck mod. These other body lifts are good options based on your needs, but is a bit more work involved, that’s not shown in this video. Thanks for watching. 🍻

Great video. It takes me back when me and my boys would be working on my TJ and my 4x4 trucks through the years.

I have an 04 Rubicon and love this tire/ wheel combo. Looks awesome! Is this -15 offset with 1.25” spacer/adapter?

[Lifeatninty]

[curtissimpson]

With that much lift and 35 how does it drive at hwy speeds 65 70 mph?

[broke_nb]

[BrvnBlw]

You didnt have a drop bracket for the TCase with your suspension lift kit?

[corbynbrown]

What rear bumper is that and where can I get it?

[kurtsterling]

Dustin, love seeing you working with your son! I watched your first BL video when you put it out. I'm also planning a 4" lift along with the 1" BL to get those 35's my '97, too! Question: Did you do or are you planning to do a 1" motor mount lift as well? Keep up the good work!

In general, body lifts are frowned upon
