Is there anything I need to look out for during installation? I've installed a 3" BL before on another vehicle and this looks pretty simple. Maybe a seized bolt or two? Thanks. 85 Toyota 4runner with some stuff... [color:"blue"]Trail Pics[/color] Re: Prothane Body Mount Install...Any Tips? [Re: Runningman] #538074 12/14/04 06:23 PM Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 12,153 N. California. USA 4Crawler Web Wheeler I have a brief description on my web page. Main issue will be if you are using the stock body mount bolts, the washers supplied in the kit will not fit, holes are too small. Either drill them out to fit (10mm - I pre-drill all the bushing kits I make) or get some 3/8" dia. body mount bolts to replace the 10mm bolts. r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: Prothane Body Mount Install...Any Tips? [Re: Runningman] #538075 12/14/04 08:22 PM Anonymous Unregistered i would definitely say rusted/seized bolts will be your problem. if you have new bolts, you dont have to worry about twisting them off.

[Re: 4Crawler] #538076 12/20/04 03:22 PM Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 215 Orange Park, FL Runningman OP Wheeler I re-used the stock cab bolts and drilled out the washers. Luckily, none of the bolts were seized and using the Hi-Lift to jack up the body is a good trick. Easy install. The truck feels much more rigid and all the rattles are gone <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />. I can really feel the suspension work now, great upgrade. 85 Toyota 4runner with some stuff...
