Default 1" Body Lift Recommendations.....

Looking for a body lift, but I don't want one that is just some spacers that you add. Ideally I'd like to install one where you completely replace the factory body mounts with a taller one. Is anything available like this?

I have the Daystar. Costs more but you actually remove the mounts from the Jeep and bolt them to the lift blocks. I don't know of any that actually replace the stock body mounts. I prefer the surface area of the larger "block" shaped like the stock body mount.

Daystar...

I think I paid 178 or something like that a little over a year ago. Almost twice the price of others but as said above, I prefer their "block" over the other BLs.

I went with the rough country 1.25" body lift. Very easy install, cost was $119 for the 4-door. I am very happy with it so far, it's been on for about 3 weeks. Actually I have a little bit better clearance for my daystar switch panel (I have a manual)
