Loosen but don't remove 3 of the 4. Jack up one corner at a time and slide out the old mount and replace. Repeat for the others and you are done.

Re: Installing body mounts?

I loosened all of them first, including the radiator support as there are rubber mounts there as well, then i jacked up one side first using 2 jacks, one on the rad support and the other for the cab using a block to spread the weight load.

Keep an eye on your brake lines and shift linkages ect on the driver side.
