Jeep-Deere body lift question
Time to mount the body. I'm looking at a 2" body lift to clear the
clocked Dana 300 and NV4500 tranny. What kind of issues am I looking at
in a body lift on a CJ-7?

Re: Jeep-Deere body lift question
If it is a boxed frame, the added torque on the mounts will increase the
cracking potential if you off road it. The frames like to torque crack
in front of the rear passenger spring hanger on the inside and over on
the drivers side frame behind the front spring hanger on the inside or
bottom.

Re: Jeep-Deere body lift question
1) Extend steering shaft
2) Lower the clutch linkage
3) Cutout floorboard to clear shifters
pros:
1) clearance for accessing things like top of gas tank, steering gear box,
shift linkage
2) tire clearance
cons:
1) body roll, body flex
2) deteriorated handling
3) high center of gravity
