Body lift - choices choices choices
Hi All,
I have seen three types of "pucks", aluminium, rubber and polyurethane. I know polys would be hard and will also transfer vibrations. Aluminium ones (Teraflex and Rusty's) seem nice and cheap, but could mixing of two metals (aluminium and body/frame) cause rusting? Any pros or cons of each type would be appreciated. Thanks TW -- 01 TJ Renegade 4.0L Auto D30/44, 265/75R16 BFG Muds |

Spacers that retain the factory rubber body mounts don't transmit any more
vibration into the cab than the factory mounts without the spacers do. I would just install the most commonly installed body lift that is made by Performance Accessories (probably also the least expensive too) and be done with it. Those body lifts from Daystar that replace the rubber body mounts are a waste of money IMHO... and they do transmit more vibration into the cab. Daystar's aiming at those who don't know their rubber body mounts generally outlast the Jeep and erroneously think replacing them is some kind of an upgrade... it isn't. :) Jerry -- Jerry Bransford PP-ASEL N6TAY See the Geezer Jeep at http://members.cox.net/jerrypb/ "TW" <a t t w @ w a v e . c o . n z> wrote in message news:cm77ij$rn3$1@lust.ihug.co.nz... > Hi All, > > I have seen three types of "pucks", aluminium, rubber and polyurethane.
