I've heard of it, but if you are going to use more than one puck together drill and hole and put a bolt through to keep them together

Tons of my friends have done it with their jeeps. I'm not fond of it myself, i rather do the job right, get a proper body lift kit.

FOR ur body lift using Hockey pucks drilling a whole thur the center and placing a tube in it then putting ur bolt thur the tube is the way to go if you decide to puck (as I have heard of pucks breaking without the center tube) ALSO bare in mind that this is illegal, it won't pass a mot check. But if you buy the econmic lift which consists of 4 Polyurethane spacers for the top of your coils and either modifiy your shocks by place metal square tubing at tops of ur shocks then run a long bolt to the undercarriage where the originals bolt were or buy longer shocks.(approx $45. each) If its a old jeep be prepared for some cursing as you snap the old bolts off and have to redrill the wholes. (suggestion spray "release-all" on the bolts for a few days before u start.
goodluck

Hey! I have seen hockey puck lift's,,not a good plan, in a year or less they will crack and fall out. Best bet is a kit ment for Jeep body lift.[just my experiance]. Be safe.

I have heard of this as well..
If you look at your truck where the pucks would sit they look. The diameter of the puck looks way too small for the job.
I have the economy kit in mine. Spacers at top of springs. New shocks. ETC.
Regards
