Can I put a 1" body lift on my 98 TJ
 
@ 1/2 inch suspenstion lift with 33 x12 1/2 tires. i'd like to add a little
more clearance. I heard that a two inch body lift won't work with A/C.
Any suggestions, prices, sites?
Thanks in advance
George
98 TJ 2..5, soft top, 5 speed, 2 1/2 coil lift

PS Who sells those seat lifts?

I think you need a 3" suspension + a 1" body for 33s.

Re: Can I put a 1" body lift on my 98 TJ
 
I wouldn't put more than a 1" body lift on, regardless. Of course, this
is coming from a guy who refuses to body lift his own vehicles...period.
Hey, but it looks good on you! :)

Why not just change out the coils for 4"?

Saw a YJ with a 3" body lift once - it wobbled like a jelly. Selling ----

Re: Can I put a 1" body lift on my 98 TJ
 
I think you can over-do anything. I needed to replace my body mounts, so I
opted for polyurethane bushings that were an inch taller than stock. I am
happy with it, it doesn't look retarded, and it isn't wobbly.
