Default Which 1" BL is better?

I am looking at getting a 1" body lift and I am trying to decide which lift to go with. I have only found two MORE and Daystar. Daystar is twice as expensive but the shape of the puck matches the body mount. M.O.R.E. is just a round hockey puck. Is any one running the M O R E and how is it. How bad is the body roll with a 1" BL.

The M.O.R.E. lift does away with the three bolt mounting system and replaces it with one bolt and it makes a smaller base for now a taller mount. What kind of stress will this put on the frame area.

I am confused and might be putting to much thought into this. At the moment the $150 is easier to obtain than the $290.

I think you forgot performance accessories. I am looking at them (1" bl) too, and have time to decide.

P.S. subscribing.

And you can get the daystar for closer to $180 than $290.

Quadratec for example updated their web page for the daystar lift....dropped about $100 off the price.



I like the Daystar design, as its 3 bolts instead of the traditional 1 bolt, and, its gets away form that "Puck" for factor...so that when installed, its hard to tell from stock.

It also mounts to the frame, and the regular mount then goes onto it....which I like better than the older designs that have the "puck" on top of the oem mount, and then just the puck against the body.

For the difference between ~ $150 delivered and about $185-ish delivered, I'd do the Daystar.

I've not heard of a single problem with ANY of the other BL's though, so for me, its more of a better appearance, plus the insurance of the stronger mount design, that sway me.

well, I have read nothing but great reviews of the MORE lift , most people that I have seen run a 1" BL use the MORE. I did read a few months back of someone using performance and one of the pucks cracking. I thought that was odd, being that I have never heard of one to crack. I think the difference is really the material used, one being made from aluminum. so not sure if at all it would stiffen up the ride because you still run the stock mount in there as well. I would not think twice based on reviews alone about going with the MORE kit

I went with Daystar and am still happy with it. I paid about $250 shipped at the time and I would believe you could find it cheape than that now because I purchased about 6 months ago.

It does look better, but takes a little longer to install than the others.
