Body lift question

[AaronPaul]

Why would the PO of my Jeep only put a body lift on the driver and passenger side?

Aren’t body lifts typically both sides along with front and rear? Never had one so I don’t know.
Any reason why someone would do this?

Thanks

I'm confused, isn't that both sides?

lol yes but no lift on the rear or front. Don’t most body lifts include the front and rear of the vehicle?

Please clarify. What do you mean the front and rear? The body has 11 mounting points. How many spacers did the PO install?

6 pucks total. 3 on the drivers side, 3 on the passenger side.

Post a photo of the side mounts and rear mounts please.

It does not make sense that you only have the driver/passenger side but not the rear (unless someone cut and raised the rear of the frame —> in which case, they would have raised the sides mounts too).

Post a photo of the rear mounts please.

Trust me there are no pucks in the rear or front. Only 3 on drivers side and 3 on passenger

So there are no pucks above the rear bumper, near the rear shock upper mounts, nor under the grille? I'm not sure how that would even work.

Read through this thread for more details; including a diagram of the body mount locations. What's holding up the front end if he/she skipped that mount? Likewise, how is the body not cracking without sufficient support behind the rear axle?

The rear pucks can be omitted with a frame lift (butt crack elimination), but what about the front part of the frame? Seems like a lot of work to avoid 5 pucks.

My guess would be the other mounts had bolts that spun the caged nut inside the tub and the PO said screw it

If the front and rear body bolts weren’t loosened, could you even get lift pucks in the sides? I would be checking all the bolts. If the bolts spun in the caged nuts would that allow the body to be jacked up on the side to insert the pucks?

There should also be two body lifts installed in the rear above and adjacent to the upper spring shock mounts and two more installed up front under the radiator grill too. You may just not be seeing the two in the rear, they're hidden where you can't see them.

 

[GPK03X]

Not true. There are two more that go in the rear next to the upper shock mounts and two that also go under the radiator grill.

Hey Jerry, the OP is aware of this. His problem is the previous owner only installed lift pucks on the sides!

Oh shit yes he was the OP.

Pics of the body mount locations would help. This sounds impossible.

Not impossible with a JKS body lift!
