Depending on how much lift and what springs you use it might even ride better. If those springs have been in there for 160k then I'm sure they are pretty worn out.
I did. the last few wranglers i looked at the frame was rotted. this one there was virtually no rust thats one of the reasons i bought it. the frame is in great shape and it runs good and looks good.
I also say stay away from the bodylift but replacing the body mount bushings couldn't hurt. I got my Daystar kit from a local 4x4 shop for $40. Considering how smashed the old ones were I would say I picked up almost an inch and I didn't even want to.
An inch of body lift helps facilitate easy cleaning after a day in the dirt, and does not affect driveline or steering angles. Dont forget to never seize the bolts when you put them back on.
Start soaking every nut and bolt on the frame now with PB blaster or such to give yourself a helping hand when the wrench time comes. My 87 seemed to fight me every turn of the wrench.
