So old thread (and maybe there is a body and engine lift build thread), but hoping to get some answers as I am currently running a 1 in or 1.25 in BL and a 1.25 in engine lift on my 2001 TJ. While not required, was recommended with atlas 4 speed installation as no lift would require a lot of pounding of the transmission tunnel. As I get older and appreciate lower lifts, I’m curious how hard it would be to swap in a 1/2 in body lift and possibly a 1/2 inch engine lift. Doubt I could do in my home garage, but maybe…just trying to go through what all would need to be adjusted, with the big things in my mind being steering linkage (is this easy?), the shifters on both the transmission and TC (although think maybe the TC shifters would just sit a little higher). I’m sure there are other things as wel…fuel filler comes to mind, but no idea how much and how much work it actually is if I wanted to take it to a shop.
I know some might say I wouldn’t notice the 1/2 inch difference, but I definitely noticed the BL up, so just exploring options and seeing what others think. I’ve also realized after over 20 years with this jeep I notice a lot more than I used too…so even small changes I do tend to feel.
Thanks!
