im surprised nobody has mentioned this yet, the biggest downfall to me is the gap left between the bumpers and the actual body, go back and look at the yellow one compared to the red one it is backed up to, the gap between the bumper and the body is much more significant, some dont care but it is just a heads up. I know some have fixed this in the back but I havent seen anything for the front.

In my opinion, just get a larger suspension lift

Yeh i know what you mean about the gap I went with the 2" and wished i would have 1.25" body lift. I fixed the gap problem but i know it is there.

I was looking on the RC website and if I was to order the 2.5" coil kit with the spacers it also includes track bar bracket and sway-bar links.

I have the same lift kit as you, the 2.5" coil/shock, if I was to add a body lift would I need the track bar bracket and sway-bar links?

the body lift has nothing to do with t/b bracket or links,those are all part of the suspension kit

So im presuming im right in saying that a body lift will do exactly that, just lift the body and not cause any other issues, apart from having to trip the shifter boot.

Its a 20 minute fix to move the rear bumper up around an inch, and it makes the difference unnoticeable.

So I cant take my Jeep offroad anymore since I have the bodylift?
