Part #:
A friend of mine was originally going to install the Tri-County Gear flat skid and engine skid. This required a new drive shaft, Motor Mount Lift and Body Lift. After waiting quite a while for them to ship his stuff he finally managed to convince them to at least send the Body Lift and Motor Mount Lift. I helped him install these on his Rubicon. Here is my write up on the Body Lift. The spacers were nicely machined, but I of course worry about putting aluminum spacers in with steel parts. I have seen way to much dissimilar metal corrosion in my career. Especially since I know that these will be exposed to salt.

A couple of notes before you begin this. The Gas Tank filler hose will be stretched even with the body back down on these mounts, so be careful as to how high you lift the rear of the Jeep. On the other side with the 2003's is the charcoal canister with it myriad of plastic hoses, these don't stretch, so once again you have something to be concerned with. The transfer case shifter lever spacer may or may not be needed. We did TCG's 1 1/2" Motor Mount Lift at the same time so didn't really need to put it in. You will also need to disconnect the Fog Lights. The wiring is to short for it to remain in the stock location. What I did was just pull the clip out of the hole under the fender and leave it hang. There is an extension for these Extension part # W82203245.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
