[QUOTE="Walt Jaquith, post: 426323, member: 18654"] Looks, that's all. If you're really going to wheel, you want lift in the suspension and tires; the body lift only raises your CG, which is bad. If you street your Jeep but want it to look all offroad without a bunch of hassle, that's what body lift is for. Mine came with 2" body lift, and the ride and handling both improved a lot when I ditched it and installed new, stock mounts. But if your body mount bolts are that corroded, the mounts themselves are probably worn out. They make a lot of difference in the ride and feel of the rig. Sounds like replacing them isn't going to be fun for you, but it might be worth the effort. [/QUOTE]
