Here is a link about the MORE 1" body lift. If you search body lift you find other threads.

I have checked out all the companies, MORE, Daystar, and performance accessories. I guess i'll go with the cheapest. It shouldn't make a difference if the pucks are billet (MORE) or composite. I would think composite would be a better ride and absorb vibration better.

Those seem to be the 3 companies I see all the time. I haven't really been able to find out which is best. The prices range from under 100 bucks to over 200 bucks and the same brand at different dealers are priced very differently.

Do all the body lift kits come with EVERYTHING you need? I'm just wondering what makes a kit worth 2 or 3 times as much as another one. Also why does one company sell the same brand kit for $90 less than another company?

The 2" you refer to is a spacer kit to raise the suspension. Not a body lift.
