    Um, don't waste your money and put a body lift on at all. Put a suspension lift on it. Rubicons are awesome, the wrangler went away from the solid axles and make them junk. A 3" lift will serve you well, got me up and down bangs canyon many a time in my old 86'. The wheels look great, but doesn't matter now anyway because you mounted them and can't give them back. Nice jeep by the way.

    It sounded like you were ok with the waste of money in a body lift. Hence the quotation. That's all, just sharing my opinion.

    Gotcha. I was just saying no to a big body lift. Me personally I wouldn't do the body lift but I know on some vehicles small body lifts aren't bad. I'm a Toyota guy, hence my pic I posted, so I really know nothing about jeeps except:

    Why are you worried what the rims look like? A PROPER jeep is covered in mud up to the windshield.... Go get it dirty.

    Fundamental problem with the body lift is some of the body armor (Skid plates) I am interested in require a body lift. The skid plate from Rokmen in particular. I am not entirely opposed to a small body lift from a functionality point of view but if you were to ask me from an aesthetics point of view I would tell you I hate them with a passion.

    That being said it is amongst the things all my imaginary friends and multiple personalities are fighting about in my head constantly. You should hear them argue.
