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

Re: Body lift - choices choices choices
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. :)

And the usual comments about 1" is ok, 2" is a bit dicey, and 3" is a
flat NO. 1" (??) max if you you have AC in the TJ
