make one. all you need to do is drill a hole through a hockey puck and use that for each mount. one puck is one inch

Is there anything else involved. What about wiring and steering shaft?

Well since you already have a 3inch leveling kit on their,and you want to go one more inch,thats a good question.I don't see why you should have to as your not going over 4inches.I think you should be fine.But just to be sure,as some of the guys on the forum if they think that it will hyper extend the drive-shaft.Again,i think it will be fine,but cant tell you for sure.Sorry man.

the body lift doesnt mess with anything but the body so the driveshaft will be fine! asfar as doing anything else goesyou will most likely have to extend your steering linkage and your bumpers will both be one inch lower than your body! unless you can fad up some sort of bumper lift bracket if it were my truck i would just leave it alone for what its worth!! alot of work for 1" spacers bud

for one inch i bet the only thing you would need to worry about is the fan shroud on the radiator. move that up an inch and everything else will be fine with only an inch. Jeeps get 1 inch bodylifts all the time and nothing needs to be added other than the pucks and longer bolts
