Body Lift?

[pbkid]

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"?

you've got it, good sir...

body lift is purely to fit bigger tires..

if someone could manufacture a good body lift, we could easy roll 35's with no CV issues...(interesting idea eh? )

Right, but this would simply be for looks, right? I mean, with 35"s you would get some more clearance underneath, but you would get more clearance from a suspension lift, right???

the combination of a suspension lift with body lift, allows you to get maximum clearance underneath (suspension lift) and then the best approach and departure angle possible, (body lift) along with the ability to get over bigger rocks, cracks and holes with larger tires (combination)

As we have independant front axles the suspension lift does give greater ground clearance on the front. Most 4x4's that have a solid front and rear axle do a lift to get bigger tyres as the only way to get better ground clearance on a solid axle truck is to fit bigger tyres.

That' why I've always been "on the fence" with regard to differential drop brackets...

You lose 40 - 50% of the ground clearance that you gained by lifting...
