Default Body mount bushing install

When replacing the body mount bushings is it necessary to jack the body up off the frame or can it be done without having too. Thanks.

Yes, you will have to lift the body a bit to get the old bushing out and the new one in. Are you replacing all of the bushing or just one? If doing just one you may have to loosen the other bushing bolts on the same side before lifting the body.

Do yourself a favor and download the instructions for a body lift from BDS. It should help you out with any questions you may have.

Thanks for the info. Appreciate it. Yea I plan on replacing all of them. Most are all shot. It's going to need those special washers too it looks like. Is that going to be a dealer item or another place you know of where I can get em. Also.......please fill me in on what BDS stands for....thanks.
