Opinions On 1" Body Lift

This is either a job done 1/2 way... or a really cheap kit. I've installed kits on both trucks and SUVs which I've owned and I know that the quality kits come with relocation brackets and steering extensions. I've never used MORE so I can't comment on their package, but I have used Performance Accessories kits and they have always come complete. With BLs you get what you pay for.

Also, I don't think there is any steering extension needed for a 1 inch body lift.
I think that Jeep has at least a 2 inch block in there. I definately agree that it doesn't look good.
I'v been thinking that it is usually true about " you get what you pay for" but I have asked quite a few times on the forum what the differences are in JK body lifts. The prices range from under 100 bucks to over 250 bucks. I'm wondering what the differences are. Are some kits more complete? Some are stronger? Some look better? Some you are paying for a name? I never get any answers.

I am a "mouse click" away from ordering that bumper. How do you like it? DO you have any other pics? Does the stock round lamps fit in the holes in the bumper?
EDIT: I found some other pics of yours in other posts. I know they used to say the fog lamps will fit but I guess that wasn't true. I didn't see you bumper thread because in the title it says Rugged Ridge. Maybe someone can edit that for you, there's good info in you thread but some people are going to miss the info when searching for Rampage.

I will be adding a 1" BL when it is time for 37's. I wouldn't go any higher though. As far as the pinch seam, I'd just mask it off and hit it with some flat black paint or bed liner. Mine is already black so I'm not too worried. Also, is there any one with a manual trans that has had a problem with shifting? I know the TJ's needed a little mod to the floor pan, just wondering about the JK. Also, the white and red Jeeps look awesome. Can't even tell they have a BL. The other one with the 3" looks too redneck, and not safe.

Longer shocks are not needed for any bodylift, bodylifts increase the distance between your body and frame and have nothing to do with the suspension.
