Body Damage is Cool

Ok, I'm in the middle of installing a 2" body lift, but I can't get the body mount bolts out of the front mounting points under the radiator support. They seem to have a tab on the top to keep them from rotating which also seems to be keeping them from being removed from the pocket that they live in. Access sucks down there so maybe I'm missing something. Can anyone who's done this on a GenII chime in with how they got the old bolts out?

Getting the Wheeling Fever

if memory serves me correctly. you have to loosen the bolts and then what I did, was get a really long screw driver or something long and skinny and a hammer and hammer the bolt up until the tab on the bolt folds back and then can be removed from the hole. good luck that is the fun part the rest is easy.
