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,

There are several mount replacement kits out there that do not include a
body lift puck. I installed a 1" M.O.R.E. kit last spring and replaced all
the insulators, bolts & washers with new factory parts. It was fairly easy
to install but be prepared to helicoil the larger side bolts. Two of the
bolts on mine took out the threads. One rear one was so frozen it snapped
off of it's captive nut and no amount of prodding would get the stub out. I
finally just drove the whole contraption out and replaced it with a simple
bolt & lockwasher.

Now don't thell me that, I've been spraying those two bolts for 3 days in
the hopes they would come out, same kit, M.O.R.E. 1".
