I was wondering what are the thoughts on body lifts? I have a cj7 project that I'm going to go SOA on in a week or so after I repair the tub. I have a 3" body lift I was going to use but I don't want to be crazy high in it. I'm sure I could run 33's or maybe even 35's with the SOA lift alone. My plans are trail rig and local driver.
 
IMO the 3 inch BL is a bit much. I am not that sure on CJs, but on the TJ I am running a 1'' BL to clear my Suspension mounts and a 3 inch lift with 35s.

Put the SOA on it and then see what you need for a BL lift, How large a tire are planing to run?
 
SOA will get you like 5.5" lift (axle tube diameter plus leaf pack), 33's will look tiny, even with no BL. I fit 33's on mine with no trimming and 4" SUA springs. 35" BFG req'd some trimming, then 36" SXs required even more.
I bet with no BL, you'll have room to spare with some 35" BFGs.
 
Yeah, I'm past the body lift I just used the poly bushing's that came with it.
