Arrow body lift questions

what is the maximum safety lift you can go with body lifts ?
and what is the best brand recomended ?
I have 2.5 TF coil lift and 33s and pocket style bushwacker fenders, wanna go with 35s, so i thought about the body lift to get more clearance

1"-1.25" should give you the added clearance you need. I personally have used the M.O.R.E. brand BL. I like the fact that it is made from aluminum and utilizes the factory bolts. Other popular brands are Rough Country, Daystar & Performance accessories....

I would think with the lift that you have already a 1 inch body lift would probably be all that you need. I installed a 2 inch on a friends Jeep and it looked real good. He was able to run 35s with that and had no suspension lift done.

I just did the Rough Country 1.25" yesterday. It is a very nice kit with grade 8 hardware. Also comes with a simple shifter extention for the manual transmission to prevent having to cut your shifter boot. I had a question yesterday (Saturday) around 5 o'clock and posted on their help line. I got an answer back immediately. I was very impressed.

I would go with the rc 1.25" it comes with rear bumpers brackets to raise the rear bumper and gets rid of the gap.

Here is my 12 with 1.75 leveling kit 1.25 rc body lift and 35's
