You might see 'lot of people rocking body lifts', but I bet you wont see many JK's running them. I have only seen one place selling them, but no one recommending them or using them. Simply not needed on the JK.

Is it a 2 or 4 door? 4in is a lot of lift for a 2 door and not really needed since 35's will fit under a 2.5in lift comfortably. Change out the guards to flat flares and you could chuck 37's on a 2.5in lift.

Personally I would recommend keeping it lower to keep the roll centre low for better handling.

Body lifts arent real good on JKs and the aftermarket has pretty much made sure that their products all work without them...more to the point you dont need them.....not even to run 37's

You just need the right bump stops. AEV's kits all work with 37's and stock flares and work just fine....see attached pic


We've actually just downsized our 37's to 35's on non beadlocks and about take down the 4.5" lift to a 2.5" AEV Hybrid lift to see how much travel we can get with the 35's......
