Don't do it. Body lifts are !!!!!! There are much nicer ways of lifting a JK, and it is not much more expensive either!

Here is what came to mind when I saw your post. It looks absolutely terrible. I can't believe they would take this Jeep to SEMA. Alctually it would be something I would expect to be DUB related.

I don't think it will rub with that combination but I could be wrong. The 4" of backspace brings your wheels/tires farther out from the vehicle so it may rub a bit if you flex your suspension.

You can get a nice budget boost lift from David at Northridge 4X4, let me find an example for you.....

The Full Traction 2" budget boost lift would serve you well and it only costs $125, add a little more if you buy their shocks too. Click below.

Isn't that the same thing as I was looking at before but from a different company?

or would I end up looking like your posted pic either way?

Yep that is the same thing. You posted "BODY LIFT" which is very different from a budget boost SUSPENSION lift. That Pro Comp suspension lift kit will work great!

I think I confused the body and suspension lift. I thought suspension lifts involved more (shocks, springs...) and not just spacers.

Thanks

There are both kinds. A suspencion lift can in be a complete suspencior or spring spacers. A body lift does not adjust the suspension, only lifts the body higher off of the frame.
