Re: Body Mount Replacement Questions and Exhaust systems

Replacing the body mounts was time consuming.
I did mine about a month ago and there are 12 bolts you will need. I thought mine would be good since I was able to loosen the nuts so I got a bushing kit without the bolts. Turned out I replaced all the bolts anyway. My advice for someone not living close to a bolt supply house is to order the kit with bolts. 8 of the 12 bolts were 3/8" carriage bolts. From what I remember 2 were 10" long, 2 were 4-1/2" long and the rest were 5-1/2" long. The bolts by the rad and in front of the front seats are larger and may not be easy for you to find. I jacked off my rocker boxes, bed floor in the back, and support under the rad in the front.
Check out the magizine article I posted in FAQ about this as it may be helpful.

Good luck
