M.O.R.E. 1" Body lift Installed (pics)
I just installed the MORE 1" BL this afternoon. It was one of the easiest mods I have done. Took about 45 minutes. My TJ was easy but I had to either put a motor mount lift on or relocate the fan shroud . I did the MML and that took me a while. With the JK you don't have to do either. The front body mounts need to be replaced, but that comes with the kit. Good instructions and good quality components. Here are some pics.

I've never quite understood the body lift thing, so bare with me...I'm assuming you remove the body mounts (how many are there?), jack up the body somehow and then install the little spacer things.....is that right? If so, how do you jack the body off of the frame?
Don't mean to sound stupid, I've done the spacer lift from Rough Country but I've never dealt with the body lft before. Also, how did you do it in 45 minutes? This one says it takes 8-10 HOURS -----> http://www.quadratec.com/products/16047_501_07.htm

I had a 1.25" BL on my TJ and liked it. Probably will do one with the JK sooner or later. I have alittle rub at full stuff up front and hopefully that will remedy it.

Loosen all 10 mounts. Take out bolts from drivers side. Jack up body between middle mounts. Insert pucks above factory mounts. Insert new bolts. Repeat on pass side. There are a few other things , but thats basically it. I don't know where they are getting 8-10 hrs. It would have only taken me 20 minutes but I had to take the grill off to replace the front mounts. Those little plastic fasteners that hold the grill on can be a pain in the butt.

Thanks, that helps me a little...
