Check the website in my sig below. Go to the "cab support" photo album and browse thru the pics, should be some shots of mounts in there. Hope it helps.

could someone post a pic? I dont really want to sign up to any sights and they wont let you access without a membership.

Darn, sorry bout that. It seems every pic hosting site is tightening the screws one way or another. Everyone used to have full access to my pics. Now I have to "invite" friends by inputting their email addy beforehand. Anyway, here are a few pics of the front and rear mounts in my 1/2 ton GMC. The kits they supply never have instructions so ya gotta remember how they came out. Just as long as the fronts and rears are level w/ each other. Also, it seems like the pieces in any new kits you buy WILL NOT even remotely resemble the ones that came originally w/ the truck.

I put new mounts on my entire truck and I to noticeed that the rear of the cab was 1/2 lower on both sides. I took the ruber monts that came with the kit for the bed and put two on the rear cab mounts and its perfect. just mounted the bed without them. There wanst any there to begin with.
