Body Lift Kit for a CJ-6?

Discussion in 'Early CJ5 and CJ6 Tech' started by Jobhater, Mar 5, 2010.

    I would like to install a 1" body lift on my CJ-6 project. I know there are no kits specifically for the CJ6. What jeep kit would have enough lift parts for the CJ6?
    Am I wrong...a CJ6 has 13 body mounts?
    Thanks

    13 sounds right.......you realize a body lift will cause other problems with pedals/linkages correct?

    Yes, I understand. I have no pedals or linkages right now.

    I have used these from MORE - I have them on my jeep now if you want to see them (sense we're close). I will be building higher mounts to the frame for the next time, like we are doing building the current '49.

    If your not too fussy, hockey pucks work.
    just drill a hole in the middle of each one and install.
    Been on our 56 for 4 or 5 years and still look like pucks! LOL

    I may have to stop by sometime to look at your jeep. Thanks for the info. Do you like those pucks?

    Would hockey pucks work well?

    I've been told rollers from boat trailers work well, cut to whatever thickness you want.

    I made my own. I ordered this 2" diameter rod http://www.smallparts.com/Teflon-PT...i=16414381&pf_rd_p=493388231&pf_rd_s=center-3
    it worked great. I used my band saw to cut length and drilled center on my drill press. Very easy to work with and turned out great. The only interference was the brake and clutch pedals, I welded the existing holes up and punched new ones in the relocated positions. I lifted my body 1.5", here is what it looks like [​IMG].

    I like them - I have them sandwiched inside a Polly puck for the full height (about 2"). If you want just 1" of lift, a thick Polly would work well. I liked the AL in the middle to add some stiffness.

    We also did it this way on the Commando being bult.
