The classic 1" body lift is to go to your friendly neighborhood sporting
goods store, buy a stack of hockey pucks, and drill holes in them.

Re: 1inch body lift "self-built pucks"
 

Other than adding weight, I don't see why not. Brass would be easier to
work, but expensive.

You still will/should have the rubber mounts in there but you lose the
shock absorber effect with body lifts usually so the ride will be
harsher.

The stock mount is two rubber doughnuts sandwiching the frame mount with
a steel tube down the middle. The bolt and washers come up tight on the
steel tube so it can only compress the rubber so much and then the two
rubbers act as a shock or vibration damper in both the up and down
directions.

If I was going to make my own, I think I would make them so they act
like stock ones. I think I would drill the puck the right size to allow
a tube to slide through it so when I used the 1" longer bolt and 1"
longer tube, the rubber sandwich would still be there.

Re: 1inch body lift "self-built pucks"
 

Hockey pucks degrade and break apart after repeated use, any flexing that
may occur will cause the pucks to breakdown. As a short term lift they might
work ok, but if your ever in an accident and they put your car on a hoist to
"inspect" it and see regular hockey pucks you will have questions to answer.
Mike R knows all about having his J**P inspected after an accident.
