I'm a longtime member of the California Bronco email list and I thought someone had posted a stock application body mount that gave a minor amount of lift some time ago. I'm not sure how much these cost but they're another option for people that need a small amount of lift. Maybe someone can do a price check at the local Ford dealership.

Hey there boys...
Well, finally reduced my body lift this weekend. I had those hard
plastic 3" risers on top of the poly aftermarket mounts (ker-BAAAM!)...
After much searching for the stock rubber pucks (sorry I think I got
another Bronco part retired!), my local Ford place SAID they had 'em,
but as soon as they ordered them, presto! obsolete/unavailable...
Anyway, the woman there was very helpful, put together a selection of
body mounts for me, I was gonna go with Ranger mounts, but they were a
bit big, however the Econoline 100 mounts were almost perfect. They're
about 1.5" high & just short of 2.5" in diameter. Installed they'll give
you about 1 1/4" lift...
FORD part# D5UZ-1000155-A absorber pkg of 2
Use the poly aftermarket mounts & 1/2" grade 8 bolts 4 x 5.5" (rear) &
4 x 4.5" (front)
Anyway, MUCH better ride, a lot softer, runs cooler now that the fan
actually lines up with the radiator & I can actually shift into all the
gears on my C4! Don't forget to loosen the nut/clamp that holds the
lower bushing in the steering column though... I couldn't figger out why
the steering was so tight, 'till my steering wheel came off! DOH!
