Default 1" body lift with Rubicon express lift?

I have a 08' wrangler unlimited with a 2" rubicon express lift, can I add a 1" bb lift without complications? Appreciate any help. Would like to get 35's for taller stance.

ur good then. should only be the body lift pucks and a rear bumper replicator bracket depending on which kit you get. If you can find a kit that comes with the bolts to use in the new spacers/mounts, pay a little extra and get those. I bought the rugged ridge 1 1/4" BL to add to my 4" suspension lift and had to pound out the stock bolts from the body mounts. Added about an hour extra of work and was a pain

thanks for info, is there one better than the other? I have been looking at Rough Country 1 1/4 BL and M.O.R.E. 1" lift.

Daystar makes a 1" bl that looks cool. Its pucks are a more diamond shape that they claim matches the stock mounts more closely. The downfall is a higher cost. I have not installed it though, so cannot offer the practical advice of the previous poster.
