Title: Body Lift installation, 97 TJ
Post by: WagoneerXJ on August 28, 2009, 04:55:43 PM

I know what you're all thinkin, body lifts suck. My GF wants one so I'm tryin to keep her happy. I'm right in the middle of installing it. and have a problem. All the pass side mount bolts and the front bolt are out.

 The Driver's side bolts are loose (as per the instructions) now when I jack up the body on the pass side, the rear mount by the bumper won't lift up enough to get a block in there. I jack up the body more and the rear tire starts comin off the ground. What the hell is goin on?

I got it figured out. I didn't know about those two body mounts hiding up by the gas tank! LOL. All the bolts were loose, thanks for trying.

Got it done. The instructions said 8 hrs. Took me a wee bit more than that. But they were very detailed instructions, I was pretty happy with it. Kit was made by ZONE Offroad.
