Body lift question
 

Dear fellow Jeepers;

I am preparing to install a 2.5" speing lift on my YJ. Before getting to
that, I want to lower the existing 3" body lift to 1" for obvious reasons.
Since my body mounts are approaching 10 years of service, I am looking into
using a lift from Daystar which replaces the old mounts completely. My
local equipment pusher tells me that it's not a good idea, that replacing
the original mounts with one-piece Daystar blocks will make the tub very
stiff on the frame. Any Daystar users out there that can tell me about
their rides? Is my shop-buddy misleading me because Daystar is not in his
stock? Thanks for any views on this.

Regards,
-Kris

I did that kind of a job on a YJ and I just put the old mounts in a
miter box and cut them in half. Then another friend put the left over
half in their YJ.

Thanks, Mike. That's an interesting possibility that I didn't consider.

If you're careful with the cuts, I know somebody who might take the
left-overs off your hands ;-)
