DayStar 1" body lift kit
My 94 YJ stock body mounts are slowly falling apart. I really don't like
to lift the body. IMO it's not really needed especially if you have stock wheels and suspension. However. I want to replace the body mounts and are the DayStar 1 inch body lift kits really noticable? I know the fan cover shroud needs to be moved one inch. Who has them and how much of a difference is the feel of the Jeep after you lift it. Opinions, good and bad. I did a search on them and it looks like a bunch of promotors so I am not totally convinced. Are there any alternative body mount kits that are not lifted? -- Jeeps and dubs and everything's nice... Replace nospam with jetta for e-mail |

No, just get the black ones and not some funky color. > Who has them and how much of a difference is the feel of the Jeep after > you lift it. I have personally installed 4 of them: 3 TJs and 1 CJ-5. You feel a little less body role and ride is about the same. > Are there any alternative body mount kits that are not lifted? Yes, you can get stock height rubber or poly. http://www.4wd.com/shopwrangler/Prod...ductSKU=110525 or http://www.4wd.com/shopwrangler/Prod...ctSKU=5462446K (Might work with a YJ) The biggest benefit of getting the Daystar kit besides a small lift is new hardware. This can be really important on an older Jeep. If you want to avoid altering your fan shroud, you can opt to install a 1" motor mount lift in tandem with the body lift. http://www.jksmfg.com/one_inch_motor_mount.htm or http://www.jksmfg.com/1_bmm_lift.htm Regards, GK |

Anything over a 1" body lift just looks bad to me and they put unnecessary strain on the body mounts because of the longer hardware. A whole bunch of other things tend to go out of wack too: Gas filler neck, Steering Column, A/C Lines, Brake Lines, Shifters, etc. The 1" lift is pretty unobtrusive. Good luck, GK |
