Thanks for taking the time to share this. Well appreciated. I decided not to lift my 89 YJ after this video. Thanks! $SAVE$
Good deal Kevin! Thanks for watching!!!
That was fantastic! Thanks a lot for taking the time to make this!
Thanks so much and thanks for watching!
Just found your channel. Amazing. Gives me hope for my 2000 TJ same 4cyl.
Jamie, I am so proud you found my channel! I love my 4 banger!
Looks so much better without the body lift. Nice work
gonzo2354 Thanks! Proud you like it. More vids coming!
Looks much better now and surely the driving is also better. See you next week.
Nacho Valenti yeah, I like it much better this way too!
I just recently found your channel, and am enjoying every video. Kind of amusing to see your son is like my son......nowhere to be seen when the work starts!
HAHA! You hit the nail on the head with that. He will come help when I can't do something by myself, then he's gone again lol. I am proud you found my channel! Thanks for commenting
thanks for the vid!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks
Your Welcome!
Love what your doing. Keep it up.
darren case Thanks!
Great video, I plan on following your exact steps. Any tips on how to remove the steering stem and other components involved
My steering hand a spacer under it. I just removed that spacer and bolted it back in place. The linkage for the transfer case also had an extender bracket that I removed and connected everything back to the original location. Hope this helps Connor!
I need to do this to my truck.
I would love to see how you fix that rot spot on your Jeep! I have the same issue with my TJ
Kathy Trevino I will be fixing it later! I will
Make a video. Stay tuned
Don't know if you are still interested. I fixed the rusty spot on the bottom of my tube. I was scrolling through the comments and saw yours. I thought, hey I did that video. Check it out on my channel when you get a chance. It will be one of the newer videos.
This gives me the confidence to remove the stupid body lift on the 95 yj i just bought.
That's great! Proud to help and thanks for watching!
I am getting ready to tackle the same project... so far I see drop brackets on the transfer case and radiator... is there anything else I should look out for?
Thanks for the input!
Look under the steering shaft under the hood. There should be a spacer under it holding it up higher where it is bolted down. That spacer needs to be removed when removing a body lift. Thanks
Also they probably lengthened the fuel fill hose from the fuel tank.
Very helpful. I guess each manufacturer has their own approach... I was looking at rough countries 3” body lift install instructions to get an idea how to remove and they even require cutting the shift rod to add an extension.... I sure hope it’s not that involved. I just keep asking myself WHY WHY WHY?!
Thanks again for the input, gives me hope
Wait, how was your sawzall blade sideways? An adapter or a feature of your saw?
That is may father in laws saw. It can go traditional or sideways. Thanks for watching!
what brand or where did you buy that kit from?
I removed the body lift and used the stock spacers that were used along with the 3 inch lift. Don't know what brand. Bought bolts at fastenal.
Jeep TJ's don't have drain holes in the frame, bad design, if you drill 4 - 1\2" holes where the lower control arm brackets are the water and dirt will drain out. The frame will rot from the inside and you won't know it til it is too late. Read up on it !
Thanks!
I just did the same thing to my TJ. One question, did you have any issues with the shifter hitting the inside of the tub? I'm having issues getting it to fully engage 1,3,5 gears. Great video by the way.
So, when they lift the body they extend the shifter. I could see where they added in a piece to make mine longer. I cut that piece out and welded the shifter back together.
Now my shifter is factory length. I should have filmed that but forgot.
Hope this helps!
@@ForceBuilt I took the shifter apart and found the extender. It was just bolted on there. Had to pull the entire shifter out to get it off.
Cant wait to get my 2" body lift off.
Man yeah Erik! I don't like the body lifts at all! Good luck!
Me too man
Is there anything other then the shift linkage and steering box you have to watch out for when revoking the 3in? Any help is appreciated y'all!
Hey Scott! Yeah, look at the radiator and the fuel fill hose. This plus what you mentioned should get it done. Thanks!
@@ForceBuilt awesome I appreciate the help! Never messed with body lifts but I want this gone
I was curious, I have electric fans and I didn’t notice any radiator relocation brackets. Would I have these since I have an electric fan and not the clutch fan?
Electric fans can use the radiator as it is. The fan shroud hits the machanical fan when rasing or lowering the body. With the machanical fan removed and an electric fan installed, body lifts won't cause a problem. Thanks
Was the ride before noisy with creaking ?
No, no sounds because of body lift.
99% better now.
Thanks!
