bodylift install help
« on: May 26, 2011, 05:53:37 PM »
i have some old 3 inch blocks from another project i never finished and thought about putting them in my 92 sunrunner{sidekick}  but have run into a little snag how do you access the top of the body bolts to put in longer ones? on all of my domestic vehicles there was a trap door as such to pull the old bolts out and put in new  longer ones any ideas by the way it is a hunting buggy so i am makeing bumpers and such so don't care about bumper gaps
prep it with a axe paint it with a broom

The body bolts are welded to the body, so there is no access needed or available

As far as I know it's a make your own thing, or the blocks
need to be tall enough to get a nut onto the body stud and
then you use a new bolt/nut to bolt the lift to the frame.

This only works with a lift that is made from square tubing, as you
need to reach into the opening to hold the bolt as you tighten the nut
