Sure. Why not?
Wanted to confirm capability of actuating a switch
Wait - You thanked everyone who gave you crap, then failed to thank the only one who supported long arms?

Many good things can be accomplished with a 1.25" body lift.
On the topic of LCoG, if you reframe the idea as fitting the largest tire, with the most suspension travel divided 50/50 from ride height, with the most belly height, under the least amount of suspension lift, you can get into some interesting territory on a build that is neither excessively tall nor cripplingly low.
Not a dr......doesn't drive a subaru....lol.
She just didn't realize what could potentially happen and wasn't expecting it.
She is my driver.....currently I am not allowed to drive (medically, residual from a stroke in February 2022).
We have a few vehicles.
2018 Mini Clubman S All4
2021 Ford Explorer
2005 LJ
1974 VW Super Beetle
1951 CJ3A
And then a handful of motorcycles.

@jjvit would involve more planning.....and more questions.

plan on a body lift, you want a body lift.

It means rethinking what it takes to setup a suspension that can work well and learning how to piece it all together.
Also donāt forget to build a tube chassis if your trackbar is hitting your oversized diff cover
Damn you're too young to be having a stroke though I know it happens to even some in their 20's. I had 2 mini-strokes earlier this ear in the middle of selling my old house and buying a new one, not the time for that to happen. Though I was 74 at the time. I hope you are on your way back to a full recovery, mine was 100% though I still have to take the post-stroke assortment of prescriptions every morning.
Thank you Jerry, I've definitely plateau'd in recovery.....but I am WAY better off than when it happened. My biggest issues are the cognitive ones. My speech and motor skills came back......but, I am now half blind in my left peripheral.
I don't know if I'll end up ON road, but I am going to build my LJ (probably with significant help) and she will drive to the trails and we will split seat time.
Basically I have been benchbuilding this and a mustang while I the hospital recovering from a 9 hour brain surgery.
The "funny" thing? I was selling a house when mine happened too!
I went out and went wheeling with @John Cooper. That led to a missing black Rubicon, a restraining order and deadbolts on all my doors.
Augie,
Sorry to hear about your health issue hope you fully recover quickly. Glad you have your daughter to rely on.
I gather from your location zip code you live on the east coast. Your long arm low CG idea sounds like it would be prefect for your needs.
You should understand most the guys hanging around this forum are TJ owners that like boulder crawling on the west coast where they can utilize 4 link short arm suspensions, like Savvy, to their advantage.
LJ's are a different beast completely, and the east coast trails, rock ledges and beach off roading lends the LJ to well designed 5 link long arm bolt on kit. Additionally a 5 link is always going to be better on the street.
Good luck and enjoy your LJ build journey.
Wow sorry to read it was that bad, here's wishing an eventual strong recovery for you!
