i dont have one but from my understand a body lift is just like a BB kit. they will all be the same. (please correct me if im wrong
companys- any. just depends on height and price
advantages- helps you run larger tires with less lift (eddie ran them on Moby for a bit i believe. should be a write up on project-jk)
disadvantanges- i will raise your center of gravity i believe. other than that none
here is the write up on the MORE body lift eddie did.

You could also POTENTIALLY run into shifter, transfer case, and parking brake linkage issues.

I do run the daystar urethane 1.25", it is perfect for cleaning thoroughly, especially for mud.
I had to buy a bracket for my shifter to fit. Otherwise you can't shift in 2,3,6 or rear. No need to cut your shift boot either.
No problem with my t case. Pretty easy to install solo in your driveway with some :beer:
You might find the "gap" annoying... To each their own and off course your center of gravity is lifted up.

That makes zero sense.
As mentioned, I have installed and run a 1" body lift and if you're just looking for a bit more clearance under your factory flares, it'll do the job well. Of course, over time, I decided that trimming my fenders was a cheaper and better solution and, I have since removed the body lift. Also, it should be noted that raising the body up off the frame WILL RAISE your center of gravity, NOT lower it.
