    the simple fact that not only the body ripped off the frame, but so did the drivetrain makes me wonder if there is more to this, like the wreck being extremely violent (yeah thats kinda obvious), excessive rust, or something else like not using the correct bolts, etc.

    another thing, don't buy the POS performance accessories bodylifts. Look into the 4crawler ones. They are made of a much better material, are much wider, and use heavier duty hardware, and can be tailor made to fit the height you need

    Agreed. I've installed a few P.A. body lift kits and they just seem to be really cheaply made. Alot of the parts to move bumpers and stuff are really crappy. I think they're fine for street driven rigs and stuff but for a pure offroad rig I'd look for something of better quality. Don't want to be like Will and lose pucks/body mounts on an rti ramp... Just my $.02

    From the start body lifts sound cheap. But there are some things you have to look at steering shaft, shift linkage, fan shroud etc. The costs add up.

    If you just need a little room I would do some fender trimming.

    i have a 3" on my truck, its been fine but i wouldn't do it again, the kit for my truck had no brackets for the bumpers, so i made my own, the only thing that i had to extend was the shift linkage, i shouldn't have been a joo and just spent the skrilla on a larger susp lift

    I used a currie body lift and I really liked it. The pucks actually sit over the stock body bushings, it uses grade 8 hardware but it doesn't come with any brackets.

    and on body lifts don't go more than inch to 1.5 inches

    We put a 1" on Lissa's, it's not that big of a deal just don't go more than an 1" to 1.5" It starts to look really goofy after that.

    I've got a 2" bl to clear some brackets under the bronco, never had any problems with it. But bronco body mounts are alot beefier than jeeps
