DayStar 1" body lift kit
My 94 YJ stock body mounts are slowly falling apart. I really don't like
to lift the body. IMO it's not really needed especially if you have stock
wheels and suspension. However. I want to replace the body mounts and
are the DayStar 1 inch body lift kits really noticable? I know the fan
cover shroud needs to be moved one inch.
Who has them and how much of a difference is the feel of the Jeep after
you lift it. Opinions, good and bad. I did a search on them and it looks
like a bunch of promotors so I am not totally convinced.
Are there any alternative body mount kits that are not lifted?

Jeeps and dubs and everything's nice...

No, just get the black ones and not some funky color.

I have personally installed 4 of them: 3 TJs and 1 CJ-5. You feel a little
less body role and ride is about the same.
> Are there any alternative body mount kits that are not lifted?
Yes, you can get stock height rubber or poly.

or

work with a YJ)
The biggest benefit of getting the Daystar kit besides a small lift is new
hardware. This can be really important on an older Jeep. If you want to
avoid altering your fan shroud, you can opt to install a 1" motor mount lift
in tandem with the body lift.

That is what I wanted to do. I don't want to turn my YJ into a circus
clown mobile. :) The red one would do that with my Hunter Green. :)

Less body role. That is interesting. I would have thought more. Okay what
about sharp turns. I guess it should be good.

Okay but my hardware is falling apart. I see your next paragraph and that
is why I opted with the Daystar kit.

Okay great. I with consider this thanks!
BTW, I saw a YJ with a three inch body lift and I almost died laughing.
That is why I am concerned and now I feel a bit better.

Less body role. That is interesting. I would have thought more. Okay what
about sharp turns. I guess it should be good.

Okay great. I with consider this thanks!
BTW, I saw a YJ with a three inch body lift and I almost died laughing.
That is why I am concerned and now I feel a bit better.

That is what I wanted to do. I don't want to turn my YJ into a circus
clown mobile. :) The red one would do that with my Hunter Green. :)

Yeah, I feel the same way. Anything over a 1" body lift just looks bad to me
and they put unnecessary strain on the body mounts because of the longer
hardware. A whole bunch of other things tend to go out of wack too: Gas
filler neck, Steering Column, A/C Lines, Brake Lines, Shifters, etc. The 1"
lift is pretty unobtrusive.
Good luck,
