This is a blanket statement that doesn't always apply. I'm really glad I have a 1" BL on my truck, as I was able to also lift the drivetrain (BudBuilt crossmember) and engine (spacers under the engine mounts), gain more room for the front shock hoops, and get good access to the frame rails for my sliders. I had a friend at a machine shop cut the pucks for me from a solid chunk of 2.5" aluminum bar stock, and I replaced the bushings with poly, new SS bolts. I've made so many changes to my frame now that the BL is permanent.
Anything taller than 2" is risking damaging the cab or frame. Think about the torque on the body mount bolts when you slam on the brakes or hit a big bump. Eventually they will rip out of the body or bend the frame mounts.
