Can't say I notice any more vibes with my Daystar poly body mounts than with
the stock rubber ones. I choose the lift because I felt the poly mounts
would be more solid - I didn't like the idea of stacking things on top of
squishy rubber mounts. You know, all the reasons you (and others) give for >
1" body lifts being bad ...

Thanks, I have ordered 1" lift and yes I do have A/C. I am not a big fan
of body lifts, but they do allow tucking transfer case and gas tank higher
up by using belly up skid plates and such. I finally decided there were
more advantages in 1" lift than disadvantages. I am also lifting the
engine 1" with riser mounts, so I think A/C would not be a problem. I just
ordered regular pucks from Quadratec.com (they ship internationally and I
am in New Zealand).

Thanks

Thanks for that. I have ordered 1" regular ones from Quadratec.com. Its a
cheap enough mod, if I don't like them I can change them again. But I am
not going any higher than 1" body lift.
