Default ?s about body lift.

Right now i have a 4dr rubi with the 3" teraflex lift kit and 35"s. I was thinking of getting the rough country 1.25" body lift. i figure for 109 dollars its a cheap way to a little more lift.

My ? is... would i have to extend my break lines, steering arm, anything??? Would affect my warrenty??

thanks for any advice or help.

I just bought this lift last week. I have a 2.5 BB already. Should install next week and will let you know how it goes.

I did the 1" BL and no steering mods were needed; I don't think .25" will matter much in the steering area.

get some flat fenders and you can run bigger tires. they make a huge difference. a friend of mine is running flat fenders and a 1 3/4 lift and 35's...plenty of room no rubbing and it looks SWEET

I've got the 1,25" RC body lift. No problems. You're gonna need to raise the rear bumper (30 min of work), the front is fine... It's easy to install if you got the right tools. I paid $90 with jk-forum discount.

Don't wanna hijack the thread (just modify it a bit), but what if you were to use a 2" BL??? Any problems there?
