If I remember correctly you need to remove the headlights to expose the top of the bolts...........

The lights are taken out just to access the bolts. To get to the body blocks you need to take the front bumper off ( leave the headlight / radiator surround on).....

front mounts

Post by SiKiD_01 »

your model may be a little different, but the front mounts on mine are bolts, with captive nuts. (nuts are welded in place)

you need to remove the headlight to get to the bolt, and to put your lift block in, and then your headlights can be put back.
