1" Body lift and new bushings, OK???

Based on the fact that we are replacing a section of floor, both sides, and it is under the rear seat where the body and frame are VERY close I am considering a 1" body lift as well as new Energy Suspension bushings. I am not a big fan fo BL but if I can find a 1/2" or 1" set of spacers I thinks it will be OK.

So any thoughts on the Energy Suspension Bushings? good, ok, bad? better stuff out there?
How about a sourcce for a 1" BL? not any higher though.

As always thanks to all of those that have helped us out from this board, you rock.

The easiest way to do it is to order the lift blocks, hardware, and body mounts from 4crawler:

I did the same for my 3" lifted pickup truck because the old kit was falling apart and I wanted to redo the mounts.

From what I could read before, basically all poly body mounts are pretty much equal. I even started a survey to see if anyone could tell me differently.

A tip: start spraying all the bolts NOW with PB blaster. It took several weeks of spraying to get some of mine loose. In fact, while 80% came loose, I had to drill and cut the rest off. I'm still waiting to borrow a friend's impact wrench to get the bed bolts off.

I do 1" body lifts (all metric hardware) and can get the body mounts as well.
