## Overview

The Rough Country RC601-1.25-inch Body Lift Kit is engineered exclusively for 2007-2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK 4WD/2WD automatic models, delivering a superior 1.25" lift for enhanced tire clearance. Featuring factory-aligned body spacers, rear bumper relocation brackets, and durable grade 8 hardware, it installs in 1-3 hours without cutting the manual shift boot. This kit preserves factory noise and vibration dampening while providing a clean, professional upgrade that elevates both performance and style.

## Description

This Rough Country Body Lift provides a full 1.25" of additional tire clearance, as opposed to the standard 1" provided by most other manufacturers. The 1.25" spacers nest with the factory body mounts keeping the body properly aligned with the frame. This design provides lift while retaining the noise and vibration canceling characteristics of the factory mounts. The new shifter adapter allows you to run any 1" or 1.25" body lift on a JK with a manual transmission without having to cut the inner shift boot. It also gives you back the lost shifter length due to the body being raised away from the frame.

Review: I like the easy of installing
Review: Got this bc I wanted a little bit more lift without changing my 2.5” lift and needing to replace other things and deal with alignment all over again. If you have rock rails and want to keep them better order 8 extra bolts that are longer bc the bolts included I don’t think are long enough. I didn’t put mine back on as I liked the look better without them. But overall the job was not hard. Take ur time. If you order it go spray all ur bolts with pb blaster a few days before it comes so it gets time to penetrate. I had drivers side loose n passenger side out and all the studs knocked out while I was waiting for delivery. Got it all done in a day. Only took me about 2 hours if I had the parts when I started. Also ur back bolts you will want to cut the washer. I thought it was ok but I looked and the washer was hitting the bolts. Overall not a hard job. I’m happy with it. It drives fine no issues at all.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: So if bumper brackets do not work with aftermarket bumpers, does that mean there’s a 1.25’ gap between bumper and body?**
A: That is correct, you will have a noticeable gap with an aftermarket bumper.

**Q: Does this include the shift adapter for manual transmissions?  It is listed on the RC website but not on this ad.**
A: No the adapter must be purchased from rough country. This kit and the adapter work fine on my 2017 JK Unlimited with a Manuel transmission

**Q: I have 3in suspension lift and want to add a little more will I need anything extra?**
A: Yes you will…but.  You will hear creaking and “rubbing” noises with the body lift.  If that doesn’t bother you, go for it. I had no mechanical issues with it while I owned her.

**Q: I have a RC 2.5 inch suspension lift,will this RC 1.25 body lift work with it, or will i have to change drive shafts and other stuff?**
A: body lift does not affect suspension, I have exact same susp. lift and body lift.  it's fine.  I recommend using the exhaust spacers to prevent front drive shaft from contacting exhaust. use susp. lift drop pitman arm and follow instructions.
