Why are the body lift kits so much compared to just buying the body lift blocks individually and buying the hardware? I have several industrial fastener supply stores by me, who usually sell to large chemical companies around here and other industries, but have high quality hard to find and common fasteners. I can get all the needed bolts, gr 8, or if they are metric 10.8, washers, for under 15, and I can get the body pucks for 2.50 a piece...what else would I need, I don't want nothing stupidly large like a 3" I want a 2" or less, preferably just a 1" is there anything wrong with cutting a 2" down to 1" if that is all I can find? Is there anything else I am forgetting, I don't see why the kits need to be $100+ when I can get the same stuff for much less. Also do the factory body bushings need to go back in, or be left out when I add the lift blocks? I think it looks ugly, and I bought a ranger with the body lift and they are still in, and it looks retarded to me, but I didn't know if they did it to cushion the cab some.
