1" body lift - advice needed

Hey,
I am thinking of installing a jks 1.25" body lift on my 2005 wrangler with the help of my dad. We are mechanically inclined and installed the LOD extreme duty rear tire carrier with no problems. I was wondering if you think it is doable with 2 people. Would doing the 1" motor mount lift be a good idea also?

thanks,
Drew

PS is there any reviews on the jks 1.25" body lift install? The search is not working for me.

I did it myself... So it must be easy.

If you have suspension lift go with the MML also, it will smooth things out on the driveline and give you some extra clearance under the oilpan.

its beyond easy with 2 people. i dont have the JKS 1.25" BL, only
a 1" but the process is the same. me and my dad put mine on in
about 30 mins maybe. i agree that if you a suspension lift, BB or
what not then do a MML as well, otherwise wait til you start jacking
it up to add the MML
