Still say 2'', the only noticeable difference will be a little more fram showing under your truck. You're going to have to move the sliders up anyway...why not 2inches
FYI for those of you mentioning Center of Gravity:
Suspension lift -> changes center of gravity
Body Lift -> minimal change as the bulk of your weight stays in the same spoit ie. frame and ENGINE.

Do It Right

If I go 1” do I really need the bumper brackets for $60? The 1” kit with everything is $168 according to Roger. Anything above that, and I get into the $230 range.
If the brackets were omitted, cost would be significantly reduced (-$60). What do you think? Just do it right?

I am still confused about the body mount Bracket thing...

I say go with the 1-incher, based on how you use your Runner, Christian. I doubt you'll need to move your sliders up with only one inch, any more then maybe...
SteveO installed the 1" kit and said it was one of the easiest mods he's ever done. He did have some info on his site http://hunt4steve.com/off-road/upgrades.htm
The only place it would be really noticeable is the trailer hitch, if you go more than 1", the hitch will look like its too low...Just my $.02

I agree. I dont want to move the sliders, and I dont run a trailer hitch anyway. So, the 1" is sounding like the best choice.
Thanks to everyone for their insight.
