I'm interested as well, I was looking at the ones made by www.duiser.com paired with the TJM 2.5 progressive lift.
I have a 1" that Duiser put on during my diesel conversion. It's not real noticeable. You can see a video of the body lift on their website YouTube channel.
what advice are you looking for?
don't let someone else run the jack while you're positioning the pucks!!!!!!!!!!! this could have been much worse..... be safer than you think is necessary

If it is advisable,and what is the scope of the work involved. I did the body lift on my 60 bymyself in 3 h o urs but I just had 1 gas line bracket to move.
i did a 1.5 in body lift on my LX, cost about 40 bucks and was easy. nothing really hard, just lost of working pulling the seats out and the carpet up in my tiny shop. my front 2 mounts had a good bit of rust and i needed to press out the old bolts. took maybe 6 hours total work with a friend to do it all correctly.
i had to adjust my shifter and sometimes i need to tap it forward to get the key out. because mine was an LX my rear bumper didnt line up at all and i just removed all the plastic. on the front you couldnt tell much was done but i built a custom bumper after i did the lift.
i waited and did several things all at once. i needed a bumper, i needed new plastic gears in my seats and my cd changer was coming out. body lift was a perfect time.

Our body lifts come with instructions. Its best if you have a friend help you, if you can trust them....... Its an afternoon job. The worst part, depending on the vehicle is getting the old body bolts off. Otherwise its pretty straight forward.
A body lift paired with a 2" lift is a great combination on the 80!

I have a 3" body lift I bought for my old pathfinder project, I was considering cutting the Lift pucks in half and using them on my cruiser but don't want to mess with the bumpers and stuff because they're homemade and fit as tightly to the the frame rails as possible so there is no real way for my to raise them lol. I would literally have to make a new front bumper at the minimum and add more to the wings of my rear bumper. So if anyone would like to buy he whole lift kit and use the pucks and whatever brackets they can, let me know.
How much body lift are you after? I did a 1 3/8" and have material left over to do more maybe up to 2" I baught material from grainger and cut ti the size i wanted and have some of the bolts needed too. I did mine by myself 3 hours give or take. Loosened all bolts one side at a time and put blocks in. The shifter is the only adjustment I made as mentioned before no complaints.
