hey guys was just out the front planning my body lift im goin to start tomorow.
i was looking for the 2 front bolts and 2 back bolts . i think i found them was wondering if i am lookin at the right bolts ?
if so the bottom of the back ones looks really hard to get to do i need to take off the back bumper ??
and the front also looks hard to get to with the top head looking like it comes out behind the front lights. do i need to take them off for the body lift process ??
heres some pics of the bolts im talkin about . Cheers guys

Front you need to take off plastic grill by removing scres in the middle and then slightly bend the grill so the plastic mounts on the outside of the grill pop out. Then u have access to your bolt head.
Rear: my bumper was already removed but i think it should be fine to just remove rubber seal and undo bolt.
Bolt sizes if its a 2 inch lift get 50mm longer high tensile bolts.

Yes you need the rubber pads, stops body rattles and other annoying noises.
You may be wise to take headlights out, cause a slip with a spanner could easily offend them.

I think christover1 is mistaken, vicelore the square ones that are between the chassis and the body where there is no bolt will be stuck to the body, don't worry about pulling them off because if you want to remove the BL you don't want to have to stick them back on.
