I want to get a roof rack problem is they all mount to the body, which won’t work with body lift. Any recommendations I’m not afraid to drill. Thanks

Get rid of the body lift and leave the 80’s behind.

What are you intending to use the rack for? If you take the body lift off, there are a lot of options, but it will come down to what you really need and how much you want to spend.

Why won't a rack that mounts to the body work with a body lift? I'm failing to the issue. Body goes up, rack goes up with it. Now if it was frame mounted I could see how it wouldn't work with a body lift. Body goes up frame and rack stay put. Body hits rack.

Extend it with steel the length of the body lift. Also another vote for ditch the body lift.

Yeah i could see how that wouldn't work. I seem to remember an old work jeep we had had a rack that mounted to the windshield and then mounted to the rear 1/4 panels.
