Mine are nylon others use al. Keep the diameter the same as the rubber mounts to spread the load.
Rearmost mounts are studs but can be replaced with bolts. From memory the lenghts varied. There is an article on WARFS.ORG about it - its translated from god knows what but you can make out the essential details.
Manuals are also downloadable from there - I would suggest you get them.

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.

Yes - no real precision required. Just make sure your drill doesn't run off center too much.
And yes the original rubbers stay in place so its spacers only.
P.S. use plated bolts, washers and nuts ( nylock are good ) so it doesn't rust.

Well hey there!
I guess (obviously) just check once you're done that at full flex there's nothing being streched... Not just when it's sitting on the road with the body lift!
I am probably buying a second rocky today, just heading out to have a look!

As he's lifting the body the brake hoses etc arn't afected as they are attached to the chassis.
There are a few under bonnet lines that need to be sorted out ( other thread ) and make sure the fuel filler hose hasn't come off

Yea, double check your radiator hoses and vac lines etc as MM said.MightyMouse wrote:As he's lifting the body the brake hoses etc arn't afected as they are attached to the chassis.

Also check the steering column and make sure the transfer lever doesn't foul on the tunnel.
Get some grade 8 high tensile bolts along with the nyloc nuts as mentioned.

Ah, yes, well - I completely forgot the engine driven fan - never having had one ( well for a few days it had one ) it just didn't enter into my calculations.
And 5" lift - your going to have to reach down through the floor to change gear... personally I think it would be scary and very unstable but each to their own.
