how do body lifts work on a unibody?
You'll need to do a budget boost lift rather than a body lift. XJ's have unibodies, meaning the frame and body are one. If you do a budget boost lift (IIRC, they usually run around $90) you'll be putting a spacer on top of your coil up front and either an add-a-leaf or new shackle in the rear. I'd hit up Tera Flex Plus for your kit locally.

Lol. I was going to post this up but you beat me to it.
Sarge,
The $75 kit is a good deal for you and will be super easy to install

I will give him a call after work. Thanks.
Reminds me of talking to that kid at Checker a few years back that was telling me about the body lift that he was getting for his XJ.. "Ya I know its Unibody.. thats why you cut the frame off the body and put spacers between it"

Im thinking of seperating my unibody on my XJ. anyone know if its been done before? Im aiming at making mine a bit more different than other XJ's on the trail. Seperating the unibody, and making a removable hard top.
let me know how that goes
xj's are so plentiful and cheap that everything that can be done (even super unreasonable and ridiculous stuff) has been done...
at the end of the day you are just another soccer mom (as am i) and you should embrace it!
xj's for life!

Take a look at RockMonkeys buildup on his XJ.

I've read over his thread, his build is pretty cool, But what I want to do is actually cut my (frame) off well the unibody type frame, and make one rather than strengthen the unibody.
Then remove the whole roof, make a decent roll cage, add 5 point harneses, (make the back 2 seat with 5 points) and then make a new roof put of fiber glass that I can remove, (similar to the Wranglers)

You ask and you shall receive. The kid went back to school before completing it so it is unfinished but he is off to a good start. I plan on doing something similar with my XJ/MJ project once I can get a job that I actually make money at again.
