body lift

if i put a 2" body lift on my 73 cj, will i have to extend clutch rod or anything else?

 

that and possibly your shifters and hard brake line to the master cylinder. Not sure about the radiator hoses etc...I guess it depends on how your radiator is connected to the grill since that will also rise 2 inches.

Wiring and cable (parking brake, speedometer) should be fine.

 

A suspension lift is quite a bit more money, but a much better option. IMHO

 

Ran a two inch body lift on one of my jeeps and never really liked it... the steering never felt right, and the body can shift with the added leverage.. seems like a cheap solution for lift but nothing like a full suspension lift kit. Just what I experienced on my jeep.... I took mine off.

 

Im with Rick, I put a 2 inch on mine, and never really liked it. Not just that, but you are talking cutting out and replacing all the body mount bolts to replace with longer lengths, cutting and lengthening the clutch rod, cutting the shroud if you have one, and on these intermediates, imo, it torgues the c channel frames more than they already are.
I put one on last summer, and took it back out last weekend. Its always fun putting a bunch of work into something, then a bunch more work undoing it.
build or buy some one inch lift shackles for now, and save the money to do it right would be my advise.

 

i like the hight on the jeep, but it set down a little in the rear. i tought about putting a lift shackle in the rear just to level it up. thanks for all information.
