Hey y'all, I have an 05 TJ that currently has a 2.5 inch Rough Country suspension lift from when I bought it. I am looking to get a 1.25 inch body lift to comfortably clear 33 12.50s in the near future. Is there any other upgrades I will need for this to be done properly? I know that the extra body lift is not supposed to effect driveline or steering, but if there is anything else please let me know. Thank you all
 
Not really. A body lift is a simple mod that will give you the extra clearance you need. Many people install a motor mount lift at the same time but it is not necessary. If you have any driveline vibrations it would be a good addition.
When your ready to order make sure and get the Black Magic body lift. There are several manufactures that use pucks that have had issues with compression. Here is thread discussing the specifics of the kit.

You will need to move/modify your fan shroud.
The body lift can also affect the operation of your transfer case linkage if no drop down bracket is provided.
