body lift install

Matt has asked for some help to do his body lift on his TJ. Can we firm up a date and location to do so? I suggest we see if Randy or Tim wants to do it at there place so we have the engine host and to give our east siders a chance to host an install day. what say ye?

Hmmm, I've got an engine hoist............

As Randy says, "let me check with the war department" to see what's on the schedule. I think next weekend (14-15) might work. We have family visiting this weekend so I know that's out.

We can use my place and since Randy can bring tools, we should be covered. I have a hoist connected to an overhead beam so we can either use it or Randy's engine hoist.

This weekend is out for me, but the 14-15th should be open.

You really don't need a hoist for a body lift (at least on a TJ). A floor jack would be plenty Smile

I talked to Matt yesterday and we are going to install the body lift Fri morning at my house. If anybody wants to lend a hand let me know and I will give you my address.

Thanks

Wow.. Y'all knocked that out! I remember when I put my 1"bl on all it took was my highlift and a socket ;-) .. Caint wait to see it

We just used a floor jack and a couple of sockets... It really turned out nice. Looks good with his 4" lift and 35's. Matt will post pics.

I getting ready to install a 1.25" body lift on my TJ, but the instructions say i have to remove the fan shroud and trim it. Did you guys have to do that. The lift I got is from JKS

Subject: Re: body lift install Fri 03 Sep 2010, 4:06 pm

Yes we had to trim it... we did not remove it but your gonna have to trim the bottom.

Subject: Re: body lift install Fri 03 Sep 2010, 4:29 pm
