## Description

The 1.25" TJ Body Lift by Rough Country is the most complete and economical solution to tire clearance problems that does not affect your driveline, the spring rate or the steering geometry of the TJ. This Rough Country Body Lift provides a full 1.25" of additional tire clearance, as opposed to the standard 1" provided by most other manufacturers. The 1.25" body lift can be used to gain needed clearance for high clearance skid plates (tummy tucks). It requires no modifications to the fuel tank, air conditioning, radiator, and brakes.

Review: solid, affordable, includes everything - great TJ jeep body lift kit. simple. easy install. did it in the driveway by myself in about 2 hours. Instant clearance and better looks. didn't have to do any crazy additional parts or mods. shifter and 4x levers still work perfectly. only had to adjust fan shroud, as expected. almost 2 years later still no problems.
Review: Exactly as I had expected -- good value - I installed this on a 2000 TJ, 4.0L with manual 5sp, which already had a 4" suspension lift. I'm preparing to upgrade from 33" to 35" tires in the near future. All the pieces I needed were included (note that I simultaneously installed the JKS 1" Motor Mount lift kit, so I didn't have to mess with the linkage adjustments or trimming the fan shroud as the motor maintains reasonable alignment). The body lift install goes very quickly, say 60-90 minutes, even without hurrying. However, if you do the motor mount lift right after the body lift, watch out. It took 3 hours all by itself as it has tough bolts in tight places! The only issue, which is well documented on the internet, is that with a body lift (even worse without the motor lift), the shifting of a manual transmission into the gears 2, 4, and R is difficult. The shifter doesn't have enough clearance to move far enough rearward to fully engage the gears. Fixes include moving the console back about 1/4", trimming the inner shifter boot, and/or removing the inner boot altogether. I have not done these steps yet since the shifting works, albeit in an obstinate way.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do i need to modify anything else ?   or do i just add the body lift?**
A: Nothing else to add but make sure you have enough slack in your gas filler hose you might have to loosen the clamp until it is lifted also the 2 bolts on either side of the gas tank are tough to get at. Lifting the body will twist your 4K heel drive shifter linkage but it will still work fine

**Q: Why doesn't this kit work with 05 and 06 6 speed transmission?**
A: the transfer case is not the same mount

**Q: Does this kit an 06 with a 6 speed manual trans??**
A: Yes it will fit a 06 with 6 speed

**Q: Will this fit a 2004 wrangler unlimited?**
A: YEARS	DRIVE	MAKE	MODEL
1997-2006	4WD	Jeep	Wrangler TJ
2004-2006	4WD	Jeep	Wrangler TJ Unlimited
Does NOT fit 05-06 6-speed manual transmission models.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, other than dealing with the fan shroud.
*by T***L on September 29, 2025*

This was my first time installing a body lift. I’m overall very happy with the product and instructions. However, their solution for the fan shroud is very crude. Many other kits include brackets to lower the shroud. This kit wants you to make new holes after you remove the shroud. That’s required extensive time to remove the shroud, only to not have room for new holes where they want you to drill. They also want you to cut the shroud for clearance. In the end, I just used self tapers and made my own mounting points. Dealing with the shroud took longer than the rest of the project. Overall I’m happy.
