Been running the MORE from when there were the only choice and it has done exactly what it is supposed to. If I were to do it again since there are choices now I would run a BMB with a MORE steering bracket. That .25 inch does not seem like a lot but for things like tummy tucks it does make life a bit easier.
Why is this 1" body lift from M.O.R.E. the only kit with a "steering riser bracket"?

Especially when you are beating up the floor to clear an Atlas or 241OR. 1/4" isn't much until the floor stops moving easily and you need another 1/4".
they (the Savvy kit and BMB kit) were designed and developed by mrblaine
as mentioned by the man himself that 1/4" may not seem like much until you're trying to push that 241 t-case up with a flatter skid plate
I like the raw aluminum look and my LJ is wrapped in raw aluminum so the color was a non-issue to me. For some that are body lift adverse it does help "hide" the puck as opposed a bright, bare aluminum puck.
Take a look at the shape of a body mount assembly. It is another example of the well though out designs of mrblaine.
The most important difference to me between the three vendors is that the BMB acetal pucks are developed and sold by mrblaine. I know him and have seen firsthand the attention to detail that he puts into builds and products.
This might blow your mind but you can buy that steering riser from MORE and use it with whatever body lift you want. I am running it with my Savvy lift which I picked for the extra clearance to run 33s and for a future tuck. For about the same price it seemed like an easy decision. I have heard that the steering riser is not really necessary but for not much money I figured why not.
Same,didn’t notice much but happier it is closer to stock location after savvy 1.25 and t/t,
I'm running the More steering riser with 8 pucks of the Savvy body lift missing!
If you want 3 more and some bolts to have a full kit to sell, I can probably make that happen.
Debated posting this here vs starting a new thread…but I think the side discussion over BL material types and variable heights on the squishy ones makes this a good spot…
With these hard BL’s and the discussions about extra .25”…what is the effect when adding rock rails that place a 3/16” steel plate between the body and the puck? These rails attach to the 2 mounts mid rocker on each size. I would think the squishy type can compensate, but do I need to cut 3/16’s off the hard pucks? I just ordered the BMB kit yesterday…

Never use rock sliders that attach to the body mounts. There is your answer.
I’m curious your thoughts on this…why? I did a little research as it bothered me at first glance…I assumed they would be terrible and wanted something that attached to the frame, like the Shrockworks I had on my old 4runner. However, the ones that do that for Jeeps I read are actually weaker by the way they attach with self tapping bolts plus the length they sit away from the frame adding leverage. Seems like some of the beefier ones all sandwich the rails between the body mounts and one company showed they can jack the vehicle from them.
Again, I assumed frame was strongest but I was surprised to see the beefier ones all mount this way. Very interested to here argument the other way!
There is a big thread on sliders that goes into why sliders should not be attached to the body mounts or to the frame.
It's not that he thinks you're a perv, it's just that he sees the hooligans you hang out with and thinks it may be contagious.
Wait, I tend to sometimes hang out with you guys too...
Never mind.
Dang good looking bunch of guys right there!!
I'd wheel through hell and back with them for sure!!!!!!!
So thankful to have seen this - was able to cancel my order for the body mount style. I thought that was the same as tub mount but I see the difference, with backing plates etc. I’ll do some research and pick some up. We don’t have a ton of large rocks where I’d wheel, but I don’t want to cheap out on parts. Function over form for me…I’ll read through the thread, thanks!
The question is “what are your sliders supposed to do?” Once you answer that correctly you can see how they should be built and mounted to accomplish that task. Then the issue becomes finding a slider that meets the right criteria. That can be hard to do these days.
Realistically, my first priority was adding a step for my kids. But I also prefer overbuilt and want something structurally sound. I don’t wheel in large boulder / rock gardens, but would like some well-designed protection and a hi lift jack point is a bonus. I thought the ones the sandwiched in the body mount with supplemental rocker attachments fit the bill, but now I question that and don’t want to drill the body to find it wasn’t the right choice (I don’t mind drilling, but want to be sure it’s the right solution first). I guess back to drawing board…
That was a year ago when I posted that (July 17th 2023). I know better now.
