Yep, did this to mine. Cost fifty bucks all up including longer high tensile bolts. I used factory rubber under the mount and boat rollers on top (what the cab sits on) I even used the factory top washer on the boat roller. It all looks factory, apart from the cab being lifted of course.

With the boat rollers I used I could get 3 mounts out of one roller. It worked out at about one and three quarter inches, but then the factory mounts are usually squased down a bit so could be closer to 2". That was for the bigger diameter mounts. I just cut the smaller mounts to suit.
Yep I reckon one inch would be fine.
