like joeblow said. the vit has studs on the body, cept for the two front mounts behind the bumper if i remember right.
my lift blocks have a threaded insert that screwed onto the stud, then a bolt went up into the block from the bottom. the front two are just like normal lift blocks with a longer bolt through them
i didnt have to do anything with brakelines, or steering. only prob i had was with the tcase knob. i ground the bottom of it down a bit so it didnt foul on the floor
ps, reply to my sms

first of all i got some rhs drilled holes through them and got some long nuts about 50mm long (had to get them made)then screwd them on the stud in the floor through the rhs and then a bolt up through the bottom with the big washer that came of the bottom rubber mount but now i have taken them out and got some c section and welded them in and just went back to the factory way and cut the ones off the chasis under the front floor and made new ones so they didnt get ripped off by rocks they are in a very vulnerable spot after a body lift
