1" suspension lift possible?
I'm just wanting a small lift and was wondering if any company makes some 1" spacers and if I would new shocks with them?

Plenty of companys make small spacers. And no you wont need new shocks. Try Daystar.

Thanks guys do you think the rough country 1 3/4 " lift would like bad with the stock P255/70R18 tires for a year or so?
Also this kit comes with the option of new shocks but the price is much higher, is new shocks required with 1 3/4 lift and what about the break lines?

I just put the Daystar 3/4" spacer on tonight. It was about as easy and changing a tire. On recommendation is to have tall jack stand or a good 2nd jack. Regular jack stands are not tall enough to let the axle back down to get the coil out.

start with a 1 inch body lift about $90 because most people wont go much bigger than that its gonna stay the whole life of the jeep if ya go with any thing else spacers hd springs etc...your gonna eventually change it out so its kinda a waste of money!!!you might think now oh no 1 inch is all i want but trust me and thousands on this sight its a jeep thing

I will probably just go with the rough country 1 3/4 " BB and hope the stock shocks will be long enough. Not really wanting a large lift or anything because it is my daily driver and I don't wheel 
, just want a little lift for looks.
As for the body lift, they look like a pain to install and I hate the gaps they leave at the bumper and rails.
