Jeeps are one of the most popular four wheel drive vehicles out there, especially in the USA.
There are quite a few of them in Australia, but not anywhere near as many as what you can find in the USA.
As a result of this, sourcing parts to lift and modify your Jeep is no problem at all.
There are small lift kits right through to huge ones, depending on what you want the vehicle to do, and how you want it to look.
Jeeps are very capable cars even in stock, but when you throw a few extra modifications onto them they become absolute weapons.
If you want to lift your Jeep, you have a few options.
With solid axle vehicles the lifting process is quite easy, and you can even do body lifts too, assuming that the body isn't part of the chassis (which it is on some vehicles).
A body lift involves lifting the body up a few inches (usually 2) and placing blocks of solid plastic or aluminum to keep the body up higher.
The original bolts are thrown out and longer high tensile ones are put in place.
The only issue with doing this is that everything attached to the chassis stays in the same place (radiator, bar work etc) and this can be a real problem.
Most people who lift their Jeeps tend to go with a suspension lift.
Stock Jeeps can already fit huge tires on, so you don't need to go that high to fit the bigger tires on anyway.
The reason for this is the way that the guards are shaped; they allow for big tires to fit without rubbing on anything.
If you are going to lift your Jeep, be sure to do it legally and to ensure that driving the car is still safe!
