Body Lift and Motor mount installation
Hey guys, I just got a motor mount lift and body lift. Was going to start on them today and was curious if it mattered what went on first or do them at the same time. Please respond as quickly as possible. Thanks alot.

i would get the motor mounts done first as they are a little more difficult and time consuming.

i agree with doing the motor mounts first. if nothing else, the jeep will be an inch lower to reach over the top and into the engine bay.

Don't think it matters much. I did this on two different TJs and did the BL first both times, gave me a bit more room sliding under to wrestle with the drivers side MM...

I did the body lift first, but I don't think it really matters.

body lift then mml. the extra inch of clearance while installing the motor mount lift helps. at least it feels like it does
