Odds are the rubber in your stock motor mounts and stock body mounts are starting to deteriorate, dry out and possibly crack. Especially living in the Northeast where the roads are salted pretty heavily during the winter months. Polyurethane will not deteriorate when exposed to environmental contaminates like rubber does.

I'm sure getting everything apart is going to be a real pain so I'd try to do everything I could to only have to do it once.

In which case I'd go with Brown Dog Industries 1" Motor Mount Lift and Daystar Comfort Ride 1" Body Lift.

Not very darned likely for a 2000 vehicle, especially since rubber body and engine mounts generally outlast the Jeep itself. I helped a friend do a frame-up restoration on his '73 CJ5 that spend most of its life in harsh winters and both of us noticed the good condition of its rubber body mounts after lifting the tub off. I might go along with them being worn out on an eighties YJ but not yet on a still fairly new TJ. Plus I'll never recommend polyurethane body or engine mounts as my experience with them is they transmit more vibration than I like. I installed polyurethane engine mounts and felt the additional vibes right away. One of the welds broke on those mounts so I went back to rubber isolators on MORE engine mounts and the vibes went away.

Rusty's sells a 1" BL for $59.

I'd go with Brown Dog for the MML.
