I have to disagree with that, the rubber in hockey pucks will break down over time and they will crumble and fail leaving you with a cab flopping around. Spend the 120 for the proper body lift.

Or just weld some washers to some pipe...
That way you don't break the bank for a few inches of lift.

Pulling a boggin' and doing a double post.
No offense man
Instead of using exhaust pipe I would use something thats a heavier duty.

That theres a quote from when I asked how to cheaply make a body lift.make your own body lift out of some 2" exhaust tubing and welding washers on both sides. you can make it anywhere from 0-3" for about $30.

I bought a bag of NHL hockey pucks for about $20. They have worked well for a number of years.

yep, but they charge 7 shipping a piece of them.....
just goto a sporting goods store and pick them up, odds are they will FAR outlast your owning the truck, ive seen trucks with them on for 10+ years with no ill effects.......
