Here is what I did to my body mount last 4th of July out on the dunes. I cam off a dune and it was razorbacked on the other side and I hit rollerfair lead first.  The body move far enough forward to bend and break the distributor and to hit the top of the winch bumper.

I took it to trail tough and they fixed er rigth up I will go out tonight and take a couple pics of new mounts. They welded a round plate on top of the mounts coming off of the frame, becasue i ripped a huge hole in the originals.

Thats a bit scary, from the pic of the windscreen it doesn't look like tou hit it that hard. I wonder how much better it would have survived without the bodylift.

Yeah....the windscreen pics is the result of not wearing my setbelt :( It actually didnt hurt though..but i learned my lesson.
 I think if I had had just the stock bumper I would have flipped over on the lid.
 
Oh and the body lift blocks have since been turned to run parrel to the frame and the body mounts on the frame and a circle mtal plate welded to the tomp of them. The body still sits about 1/4 to a 1/2 in forward.

dang those are some scary looking weak body lifts you had there, eigth inch wall two inch square tubing?!? :-[ im glad i was able to avoid using a body lift since i have a samurai, my advice to you guys that need them due to ifs would be to make your own out of quarter inch wall and make em extra long so they dont buckle like that as well as using long through bolts instead of two bolts per mount. be careful, 6feet  :o

Thats the body lift that came with the Calmini 6" lift kit...  It was already installed when I bought the rig.

my condolences ;D but hey no finger pointing here just pointing out for safetys sake, back when i was in high school into lowriders you should have seen some of the scary shit we did, one time we cut the back half of the leaf springs off in the rear of a honda civic wagon 1978 i believe to lower the rear from the axle back, all that was holding it was the little positioning bolt through the allignment hole hehehehehehehe :o
