While at first-blush this jeep looks bigger, my truck compares pretty well. That said, am going to bastardize and install a F150 body lift one of these days.
Your Expy has a lower center of gravity keeping all 4 on the ground in high speed turns. A BL would look great on there minus the install headaches.
Thanks! I'll have to work with the headaches and figure them out; that's about all I can do short of $4-5k in suspension lift.
I wouldnt be too quick on a body lift. While it would be nice to have some extra lift, think of all the headache with a body lift. I have one so i am not against them at all, but if i did it again i would save up for the suspension lift. Pretty sure you would need some intensive fab work to get that front bumper lifted up and still being sturdy and secure. The body lift brackets would not be good enough.
The bumper's brackets are designed for a 3" body lift; I had to drop the brackets to get it to line up with the expy grill area (its for an F150). The bumper would be the easiest part. The other headaches - fabbing brackets where / if they differ from the F150 is the issue. The only suspension lift I can find may not be sold anymore; and if it is, it's 4-5,000 bux. I can get a F150 body lift and have custom brackets (as needed) installed for less than about $1800.
