Let's Talk Lifts . . .

They should be arrested for using that name again ! So on that note , Didnt we discuss this before and recommend 2' springs over 2' spacer to control the ride and larger tires. The stock spring rate with spacers should be fine on the street but will be horrible off road due to them not controlling the larger tires. A big apology to the Ralphster for stealing his thread ! Just sayin FjR68

I was watching this video last night, but since it didn't speak to a body lift versus coil spacer lift, I didn't post it.

This video starts at the beginning and goes right through the though all the different type of suspension lift options.

I have a 1" body lift combined with a 3" leaf (when springs were new) on my YJ to clear 33's. My logic for the body lift was to keep the center of gravity as low as possible, and yes I tend to drag my undercarriage over things versus my undercarriage dragging (flipping) me over
The body lift allows the use of a belly-up or raised center skid to gain 1-3" of center clearance , the only mistake I made was starting off with a 3/16" thick skid which proved to be too thin for my style of wheeling. I now have a full 1/4" plate which is holding up nicely and slide over obstacles.
I did need to install bump stops to limit my front tires upward travel to keep them off my fenders at full articulation. I find by keeping a good eye on tire placement I can usually keep my axles elevated enough to navigate most obstacles.
