Opinions on bodylift
« on: October 31, 2009, 07:20:28 PM »
We want to do a body lift on my friends XJ, cheapest way to stuff some meats under it.  Has anyone runt he ProComp kit on their Cherokee.  From the pictures it looks good, do you think we could stuff 33's on a 4" BL?

Here is the pic we have

You need some boggers on that thing!
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

You know what would be even cheaper than a body lift? A grinder from princess auto and some cutting wheels. The only thing harder to do than start the first cut...
