Want to put Savvy 1.25" body lift on. Already have 4 in suspension lift. What 1" motor lift should I use and will I have to adjust any linkages. Just installed 35's and need a little more clearance.

Just use these spacers:

You'll have to adjust your transfer case linkages most likely, so I suggest going with the Savvy transfer case shifter:

Chris my jeep is the 2004 Rubicon and its says this linkage dosent work on the Rubicon. Not sure what the difference is but guessing different transfer case?

I put M.O.R.E. raised motor mounts on mine and noticed a significant increase in vibrations. Made me wish I had gone with spacers instead of new mounts. I don't know if they are broken in now or if I just got used to the vibrations, but I don't notice it anymore.

Rubber or polyurethane? I had zero vibes after installing MORE's rubber MML kit onto my previous TJ. But Savvy's spacer kit is the way to go now.

FYI: I don't know if I just got unlucky or my mount is too soft, but my Savvy passenger-side spacer hits one of the bolts that holds the mount to the block and makes noise over bumps/washboards. Photo here.

It's on my winter wrenching list to cut that corner off and install new mounts, hoping to get to it in the next couple of weeks.
 
@Nep1303, the basic issue is vibration damping between the engine and the frame. The stock motor mounts do a very good job, so why take that away to substitute for something that may not do as good a job? A spacer is just that, a spacer that the stock mounts are mounted on top of. As long as your stock mounts are good I see no reason to change. Lis Automotive sells an Aluminum T6-6061 one for about $50. I used it in a rig. Problem free for a year or more now.
