Only a couple mentions of body lifts on this forum in the last few years of being here. They all seem to be from you.

As requested I won't ask or comment. Most opt for complete suspension systems, or at the least spring spacers and shock relocation brackets to recycle the factory wares.

very easily done.... as I have mentioned a few times in the last week or so. It can be done in a matter of an hour, a couple of jacks or the proper jack/lift.

Thank you... just was wondering if any lines/hoses get stretched... they don’t mention this in installation, looking for someone who did a body lift on 2020 jlu, just to cover everything

Loosen the body mounts on BOTH sides (leave the nuts on a couple of threads), but only remove one side at a time...then jack up one side with blocks of wood and a jack...no hoist needed. Easy-Peasy.
Awesome thanks

What he said the only other thing is depending on whose lift you use as to what/how the very 2 front body mounts are just easier to remover the grille (30 seconds) to better access those 2 mounts.

I’m wondering if you simply used the body spacers that the Recon has?
