Rough Country 3" Body Lift Kit for 1997–2006 Jeep TJ 4WD Automatic

Upgrade your TJ without compromising ride quality. This Rough Country 3" Body Lift Kit is purpose-built for 1997–2006 Jeep TJ 4WDs with automatic transmissions, delivering genuine clearance where you need it most—engine bay space, radiator and grill area, and room for larger tires—without altering your suspension geometry.

• 3" body lift using fiberglass reinforced nylon pucks — built to endure off-road abuse and long-term durability
• Includes grill support brackets, radiator support brackets, steering spacer and strap, overflow extension, fuel filler extensions, and shift control brackets for auto trans
• Bolt-on installation — no exhaust cutting or major modifications required
• Grade 8 hardware included throughout for reliable, high-strength assembly
• Auto transmission specific — does not fit manual gearbox TJ models

What this means in practical terms: you gain true under-hood and body clearance to accommodate engine swaps, belly-up skid plates, and bigger tires, all while maintaining the handling characteristics you expect from a TJ. The kit lifts the body off the frame, preserving suspension geometry, so steering response and ride stability stay consistent under trail conditions and daily driving alike.

Why it’s a smart upgrade

• Engine bay clearance for targeted upgrades, cooling system changes, or equipment in the engine compartment
• Enhanced belly clearance for aggressive skid plates and underbody protection
• Increased tire clearance without compromising factory geometry, helping you pursue more capable off-road setups

Installation overview

The kit is designed for straightforward, bolt-on installation with no need to cut the exhaust or overhaul the suspension. All necessary hardware is included, and the process is meant to be approachable for DIY enthusiasts while offering a solid, professional finish when installed by a shop.

Who should consider this kit

• TJ owners planning engine upgrades or a more capable off-road setup who want extra clearance without reshaping the suspension
• Drivers seeking space for larger tires while retaining stock ride quality and steering characteristics
• Builders focusing on a clean, factory-feel solution that minimizes modification complexity
