I have used hockey pucks to gain an inch but but not thrilled about stacking 3 or 4!! A friend of mine did. He didn't wheel the truck alot but never had any other problems.

your right. I don't understand the jeep thing!

So you just drill a hole in the center and that's it??

I have gotten creative for a few friends of mine, here's what I have found works best, even better than anything you can buy... If you want a three inch body lift go find yourself some 3 x 3" square stock. Either 1/4 or 3/16" thickness will do. Cut up 3" long sections, drill a centered hole in each, buy the proper length bolts, I use grade eight. We made a 4" body lift for my buds f@rd.... Cost us about $50, holds up to abuse better than any body lift I have even seen, and just looks more logical if you ask me. I am going to begin the same 4" body for my blazer this weekend. I will try to take pics and let everyone know how it turns out. Need the extra room for my prospected 44" Ground Hawgs.

You call that dirty!?

Go to your local marine shop and ask about boat rollers. they come in several sizes and colors. they also have a hole drilled in them and they are already bushed so that you can crush them
