Jeep Tj Tummy Tuck Kit

A Jeep Tummy Tuck Kit is the easiest way to get a flat stomach, better posture and a more toned back. The kit includes everything you need to get started on your own tummy tuck. Before I got this kit, I had tried every exercise program out there and nothing worked for me. I was always left with a bulging belly that made me look like I had just given birth even though it had been years since my last child was born.

The first thing that attracted me to this kit was the price. It’s only $20 for all of these supplies, which is much cheaper than going to the doctor or buying expensive equipment like some people do! You don’t need any professional training or special education either; all of these instructions are written in simple language so anyone can use them!

After receiving my kit and trying these exercises for just two weeks, I have already noticed a difference in my appearance! My stomach is flatter than ever before and even though it’s only been three weeks since starting using this kit, my back feels more toned as well!

This post also features jeep tj body lift instructions and aev tummy tuck.

Take a look under your Jeep Wrangler TJ and one of the first thing’s you’ll notice is that the transfer case hangs down really low (especially if you have a Rubicon model). A tummy tuck means that you’re lifting the transfer case up into the body more and getting rid of that low hanging stock skid plate in favor of something flat, that doesn’t hang down (or at least doesn’t hang down as low as the stock skid plate).

Why do I need a tummy tuck?

Well, you don’t need a tummy tuck, but if you do a lot of offroading in your TJ then at some point or another you’re going to get your transfer case skid plate stuck on something, whether it be a rock, a log, etc.. With as low as the stock skid plate hands, most serious offroaders will agree that a tummy tuck is a necessity.

One of the things I learned first hand when doing my own tummy tuck is that you have to be careful on the short wheelbase TJs (not the LJs). If you go over 4″ of suspension lift and attempt to use an almost entirely flat skid plate (i.e. Savvy), your tucking that transfer case so far up there that it’s almost the equivalent of having 7-8″ of suspension lift. What I mean by that is that you have to rotate your rear pinion angle up so high inline with the driveshaft, that your rear track bar will be angled o far back that it will contact your fuel tank skid plate if you flex the suspension enough.

This can be fixed with custom fabrication, but I haven’t seen any off-the-shelf kit that accounts for this. For me, at 4″ of suspension lift with the Rokmen skid, my JKS rear track bar (with the track bar relocation bracket) is probably 1/4″ away from contacting my fuel tank skid plate when the suspension is flexed out.

A friend of mine who has 4″ of suspension lift did the Savvy skid plate, and his pinion angle was so high and so severe after the tummy tuck, that he either had to get a skid plate that hung a little lower (i.e. Rokmen), or lose some of the suspension lift to lessen the angle of the rear pinion / driveshaft.

On LJs this generally isn’t an issue since you have much less severe rear driveshaft angles, and you can get away with a lot more. I’m only pointing this out because I want people to know what they’re getting into. The TJ has a very short wheelbase, and therefore you really need to pay attention to driveshaft angles in the rear. There comes a point where that rear driveshaft is at such an extreme angle, that you’re either going to be burning through driveshaft u-joints like crazy, experiencing a lot of vibrations that won’t go away, or you’re going to have your rear track bar contacting your gas tank skid.

Keep this in mind when doing a tummy tuck on your TJ!

One thing is for certain, a proper tummy tuck is not cheap!

Last but not least, if there are any errors or anything that needs to be added please let me know!

Too much suspension lift for a tummy tuck?

I’ve been researching TT, especially the well-written thread on this forum, and pages on Tom Wood site. If I’m understanding, since I already have a 2.5″ OME I can go ahead and do a 1″ MML Brown Dog to get rid of my TC drop. I can do a Novak Transfer Case Shifter anytime. I can also do a 1″ Savvy BL anytime. Is this right?

My other questions; for my control arms, can I keep the stock lowers and just get the adjustable rear upper’s (Savvy) so I can rotate the pinion on my rear differential so it is facing the output of the TC? When do you put the high clearance skid on in relation to the SYE and Tom Wood Driveshaft? It seems to me that you have to already have the skid on so you can get correct measurements to Tom Wood so he can make the personal driveshaft the right length.

And I’m just wondering how this works when you get to the point of putting on the skid. Is it the higher clearance skid that raises up the TC? It’s crazy that the 2003-06 TJ’s have 4.65″ of belly sag. If you can get rid of that you’re almost gaining 5″ of lift (at that point)! Anyway, appreciate any feedback…

 I finally got this sucker installed. I was down for a week due to other installs I did during this time. The project was:

1- Terraflex super short SYE
2- Nth degree Tummy Tucker
3- Savvy UCA rear
4- JKS rear track bar with CV bracket

Overall it is a well engineered kit. The hardest part was grinding away clearance for the cat hanger. Overall I picked up 3.5 inches (I had skid drop spacers before) of clearance to the local bump, and 4.5 to the rest of the skid. No body lift needed.

Whether you call it a Jeep Tummy Tuck, a tummy tuck kit, or an under skid plate, these kits are everywhere. They promise to give you all the benefits of a body lift without any of the drawbacks. But are these kits really worth it? What do they do exactly and how much will they cost? In this article I’ll answer all your questions about this growing trend in the Jeep community.
