Body Lift?

[ZEUS]

I found the thread I was thinking about: http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...eferrerid=1999
He said a few times he would post pics of his lift but never did and has since sold his VX. Maybe search for the VIN to see who bought it?

you can also use hockey pucks to do the lift. cheap effective way.

i actually kinda casually spoke with some local offroad shops about doing a body lift on mine because i want 35's....really bad lol....(i know, dumb kids)

he said the biggest issue would be to extend the shift linkages and the steering components and longer brake lines...

if you could fab up longer steering components and shift linkages you would be A-OK

A member of this board back in '04 got a local company to work with Independant 4X4 to modify a Trooper body lift for his Ebony...all the things mentioned earlier were issues...body mounts, linkages, gas tank mount, etc.
Here's an old link to the thread discussing it:

And an link to his old web page with some pics:

Looks good...minus the severe need for tires/wheels

guess its sort of a race then huh??

i may lose though, i have my sights on paying back greg (for my skid plates that he made and hand delivered to moab for me) and then some body armor and a front locker before a body lift

ezem1y is who I was talking about. He ended up just putting a tropper body lift on it.

So what exactly is the point of a body lift and a suspension lift together? A suspension lift will give you more underbelly clearance and a little more room for bigger meat. A body lift will give you more tire clearance and save the CV angles, but together is it simply to get more clearance for bigger tires? Is that the only "benefit"?
