Depends upon where your Jeep's been and how much corrosives it's been
exposed to. On mine I ended up having the left rear bolt snap off, took a
bit of struggle to get the old captive nut out. I simply used a hole saw to
get at it and installed the new bolt with a regular nut & washer, then
sealed the hole with a body plug & sealer. One of the large bolts on the
right side came out with it's threads, which required a Helicoil before it
was reinstalled.
There are 6, 1/2" bolts (3 on each side), ad 5, 3/8" bolts, one at the
radiator support and two on each side at the rear. Two of the rear ones are
up above the wheel arch and are a bit of a struggle to get to.
Again, if these things are corroded this can be a major PITA to complete.

I installed a set when I did the body lift. They increase engine vibration a
tiny bit, most noticeable at startup. I mostly installed them to line the
powertrain up a bit more. Not sure they're really worth the trouble.

I'm not sure the studs on the mounts would be long enough to reach through
the 1" spacer, I tend to doubt this is feasible.

Re: 1inch body lift "self-built pucks"
My fiberglass body mount kit came with rubber pucks that were cut from
the tread of a tire with a holesaw. They have held up pretty well almost
twenty years, they still look they same.
I made my own body lift by capping a two inch length of 2 inch pipe and
welded them to the mounts on the frame even tested them in a head-on. I was
parked and the other guy hit me at some where around thirty mph. No damage
or bends to the mounts.

I made my own body lift by capping a two inch length of 2 inch pipe and
welded them to the mounts on the frame even tested them in a head-on. I was
parked and the other guy hit me at some where around thirty mph. No damage

Re: 1inch body lift "self-built pucks"
My fiberglass body mount kit came with rubber pucks that were cut from
the tread of a tire with a holesaw. They have held up pretty well almost
twenty years, they still look they same.
I made my own body lift by capping a two inch length of 2 inch pipe and
welded them to the mounts on the frame even tested them in a head-on. I was
parked and the other guy hit me at some where around thirty mph. No damage
or bends to the mounts.

Re: 1inch body lift "self-built pucks"
Again "pucks" made out of car tire rubber are somewhat oil resistant and
stand up to wear pretty well, where Hockey Pucks are not. completely
different compounds..
