Rough Country 3 Inch Body Lift Kit For Jeep TJ Manual Transmission 1997 2002

Upgrade your 1997–2002 Jeep TJ Wrangler with a precise, purpose-built 3" body lift that creates real-world clearance for engine swaps, belly-up modifications, and larger tires without a full suspension overhaul. This kit is engineered specifically for TJ models with a manual transmission, so fitment is optimized and driveline geometry remains reliable.

• 3 inches of additional body clearance to accommodate drivetrain changes, engine swaps, and expanded wheel/tire options
• Shifter extensions included for manual transmissions (RC613) to preserve smooth shifting and reliable linkage
• Comprehensive mounting components: grill support, radiator support, steering spacer and strap, overflow extension, and fuel filler extensions
• Fiberglass reinforced nylon body lift pucks for durability and long-lasting performance in off-road use
• Grade 8 hardware throughout for serious strength and secure, peace-of-mind installation
• Bolt-on installation with no exhaust cutting or extensive vehicle modification required

What sets this kit apart is the thoughtful integration of all essential upgrades in one package. The manual-transmission-specific shifter extensions ensure precise linkage alignment, while the included grill and radiator supports, steering components, and filler extensions keep factory fit and function intact. The combination of rugged pucks and Grade 8 fasteners means you’re not just gaining ground clearance—you’re investing in a durable, trail-ready setup that stands up to rock-crawling and daily driving alike.
