Will do, I had an 1" on my tj as well helps with cleaning it in my opinion.a friend of mine who is on here when he had his 4dr auto tho and a 08 I think but had a 2"bl and you really couldn't notice it that much. The kit came with rear bumper brackets so you couldn't see a gap.

I installed 1.25 rc body lift with shift adapter and rear bumper relocators. The gaps are not noticeable.The rear bumper extensions help that.But the shift adapter is not perfect. You will probably have to change the cover of your stick, with a custom one cause the adapter comes in contact with the cover when you select 1st,3rd,5th. Not a huge problem but an issue to think about. If you dont install the adapter you will not be able to select 4th without popping even if you go with only 1inch body lift. I have an 2010 Jk 2dr manual.I dont know if there is a difference between 2010 and 2011.

Default body lift installed last week

I don't know if the 2011 is the same as 2012 I ordered the rough country 1.25 lift for a 4 door and the 12 does not have mounts above the rear axle so i have 2 extra spacers holes are there but no mount. I could of ordered the 2 door and saved some money.

Same think here. I have a 2dr and i ordered the kit for the 4dr cause it was the only one i found around here. But i didnt even use ten of the pucks. The two bases over the rear axle were mising so i used 8 of the 12 pucks in total. I have a 2010 jk.
