Okay, I think I figured out my mind dilemma. The brands that I mentioned that are only including 6 mounts in their kit are not kits for a body lift. They're just a kit to replace your existing mounts, whether they be stock or some other after market mount. The intent is to keep whatever body lift or no lift that exists.

Here you go. Full replacement kit for the OEM mounts, no body lift.

No, just replace the mounts with beefier ones. For example:

That's a different animal. Those are raised body mounts and I believe they'll require cutting off the old and welding. Can't help there as that's outside my knowledge lane. Sorry, though you were simply looking to refresh the mounts and bushings.
And I just confirmed that these TNT Customs mounts have a built 1.25" lift right out of the box.
Correct. Those are steel mounts that move the mounts themselves up 1.25" to get them out of the rocks when wheeling. They assume you have a 1.25" body lift already.

You’re looking for the 6 body mount brackets along the frame between the wheel wells. The ones from Genright, TNT, and Swag are replacements that are raised body mount brackets.
You want the non-raised.

I just did this last summer with the crown kit, extremely straightforward.
So I contacted Rust Busters to ask about the thickness of their brackets. They're 11 gauge, aka 1/8". I'm on the hunt for 3/16" thick. I've seen pictures and videos of the stock brackets getting contacted by rocks and getting bent and twisted.
That’s why those of us with 1.25” BL get the raised mounts.
The other thing is the stock mounts have ears that can bend over to get out of the way. It’s not fatal if they bend. Just bend them back.

Bumping this not-too-old thread... I'm adding a 1" Rokmen body lift soon and with 150k on the OEM body mount bushings, I figure I should change them out while I'm in there.
Linked above, I see a Crown kit from Quadratec for $200 and the same sent from Summit for $170. I don't need the bolts, so maybe I can save another $20 elsewhere. Does anyone know a cheaper source for the Crown (or other quality rubber) kit?

Replaced mine about 1.5 yrs ago with the Crown kit, sourced on Amazon.

I purchased the Crown body mount bushings with bolts for my LJ. How does the front radiator body mount bolt thread in? I am looking in the hole but I am unable to thread the bolt inside. I am trying to rule out that the thread did not rust out.
There is a nut plate captured in a square retainer so it can float side to side. Nut plate means it has threads in a flat plate. No threads means not good.
