If it were me and I was doing a lift, I'd stick with suspension. If I were really trying to fine tune and could justify a body lift, I would do it with steel and actually modify the existing body mount brackets. Use the stock body mounts (new ones) and create a steel riser for them to sit on.
There are several issues with the puck style body lift's that make them not work well. One is a 3-4" longer bolt. It is not a tight tolerance fit, so even if it is tight, it still can move off of vertical. You really can't tighten them, because then your body mount would give no flex. When you are out on the trails, the body will start moving all over the place. Also - many of the body lifts, use a hard polyeurathane block and it eventually starts wearing, thus getting loose.
