[QUOTE="Chris, post: 426344, member: 1"] Body lifts are of tremendous use if you want to do something like tuck the underside up into the body. For instance, on my TJ I wanted a completely flat belly (for crawling over rocks), so I tucked the transfer case entirely into the tunnel which allowed me to run a flat skid plate, and I also tucked the gas tank up several inches as well. This dramatically improved my ground clearance, and I no longer have anything under the vehicle to easily get snagged on rocks. This wouldn't be possible without a body lift, hence the purpose. The catch however is that going over 1.25" of body lift is not advisable and unnecessary. I was able to do all this with a mere 1.25" of body lift. Another positive of a small body lift is added wheel clearance which makes room for additional up-travel before the tires crash into the fenders. [/QUOTE]
