Home made body lift?
How hard would it be to make some 1'' body spacers for a pu. Im pretty sure id have to replace bolts for longer ones. I just need to lift it an inch. Or would i be better off just buying a whole body lift kit?

I've seen people use hockey pucks before. not sure how well they really hold up though.
I would just get a 1" body lift.
what size 285 are you trying to fit?

To lift the Cab & Bed on my 83 I added a body mount set from PROTHANE for a Jeep CJ5 they worked perfect and they do not cost that much. The kit contains 14 bushings and are available in RED or BLACK. For new hardware I went to the local hardware store and got new grade 8 bolts, washers and lock nuts. I am a dealer for Energy Suspension Products & PROTHANE so if your interested send me a "Personal Message". I am leaving for Sierra Trek on Tuesday but will be back to the store on August 16th.
