Jeep Lift Kits
Bigger tires can give your Jeep a more aggressive look and better traction off road. But you can only go so big before you need a Jeep Lift Kit to “lift” the vehicle. There are basically two ways to accomplish this.
Jeep Lift Kits – Notice !!!
Morris 4x4 Center does not recommend the combination of two or more Jeep Lift Kits on the same vehicle. In other words, do not use a Jeep Body Lift Kit with a Jeep Suspension Lift Kit. Also, do not use a Coil Spring Spacer Jeep Lift Kit with a replacement Coil Spring Jeep Lift Kit. One exception is that slightly longer, heavy duty shackles can be used in conjunction with a Leaf Spring Jeep Lift Kit. All Jeep Lift Kits raise the vehicles center of gravity and proper precautions should always be taken while driving. Jeep Lift Kits should be installed professionally.
Jeep Lift Kits – Jeep Body Lift Kits
Jeep Body Lift Kits raise the body of the Jeep off the frame; this increases clearance in the wheel wheels and allows bigger tires.
Jeep Body Lift Kits are an inexpensive way to accommodate larger tires without changing the factory steering geometry or ride. Drawbacks to Jeep Body Lift Kits can include loss of body to frame rigidity, radiator alignment and the vehicle’s frame becoming more visible. These issues become more problematic as body lift height increases. Keep in mind, Jeep Body Lift Kits DO NOT increase frame to ground clearance for off-road purposes.
Jeep Body Lift Kits – Jeep Body Lift “Pucks”
Jeep Body Lift Kits usually consist of 1” to 3” spacer “pucks” that go between the body and the frame and longer bolts to accommodate them. The factory body mount bushings are usually retained.
Jeep Body Lift Kits – Jeep Extended Cab Bushings
Unique 1” lift body mount bushing Jeep Lift Kits are now available for most Jeep applications. These durable urethane units completely replace the soft, often worn out, factory rubber Jeep body mount bushings. Since they are one piece, they do not encounter the same flex issues associated with placing spacer “pucks” on top of existing bushings. These innovative Jeep Lift Kits are often the perfect answer to getting just a little more tire clearance without much sacrifice.
Jeep Lift Kits – Jeep Suspension Lift Kits
Jeep Suspension Lift Kits are designed with the Jeep owner in mind who requires more off-road capability, not just tire clearance.
Jeep Suspension Lift kits – Jeep Spacer Lift Kits
Jeep Spacer Lift Kits are the perfect choice when only a little suspension lift is needed. These kits include Coil Spring Spacers between ľ” and 2-1/2” in height. Because the factory coil springs are retained, these Jeep Lift Kits have little effect on ride quality. Depending on the amount of lift, the factory shocks should be replaced when installing these Jeep Lift Kits.
Jeep Suspension Lift Kits – Jeep Coil Spring Lift Kits
When even more lift, or more off-road capable Jeep Lift Kits are required, replacement coil springs are the way to go on 1997 and newer Jeep Wranglers. Available from 2.5” all the way to 10” in lift height, these Jeep Lift Kits will get you the clearance you need. More advanced Jeep Lift Kits with longer control arms are also available for the maximum in off-road capability.
Jeep Suspension Lift Kits – Jeep Leaf Spring Lift Kits
Jeep Leaf Spring Lift Kits are used on 1987 to 1995 Jeep Wranglers and all CJ’s, which did not use coil springs. These Jeep Lift kits consist of replacement leaf springs which have a higher arch than the factory originals.
Jeep Suspension Lift Kits – Jeep Shackle Lift Kits
Jeep Shackle Lift Kits can be used on most vehicles which use leaf springs. These Heavy Duty Shackles are longer than the factory originals and can be used in conjunction with, or independent of, other Jeep Lift Kits.
