Well the nut should be welded to the body, so you only need longer bolts. The 2 inch body lift kits over here come with (12) 12mm x 140mm carriage bolts, (8) 7/16' USS washers, and (6) 3/8' USS washers.

If you want a 60mm lift (about 2.25 inches), you would just need a longer bolt. the extra .25 inches of lift would need an extra 6 or 7 mm longer on the bolt. Hope this helps!

Edit: Are you sure Kaprolon (which I assume is the commercial name for Kapron?) is strong enough for the body lift? The kits over here use compressed nylon, which is what kapron looks to be...but I'm just not sure what the strength rating would be..

the exact blot size you would need would be (8) of the M12 x 1.75 x 150mm long this will be perfect for the 60mm lift and some washers in there too.

Hockey pucks will deteriorate eventually..and you still need new bolts

If he can get kaprolon at a low price, it would definitely be the best choice for durability

You could always just buy the blocks from synergyoffroad ( http://www.shop.synergyoffroad.com/p...&categoryId=10 ) and then get all the hardware from a local hardware store. Might be cheaper that way. However, you don't really wanna go cheap on anything when it comes to a body lift.
