the old bolts have a piece on the side so they wont turn when you remove them.but that is also why you cant realy get to the new bolts on the front of the bed when you put the new bolts in they will turn and you cant get a wrench in there.

ok how many mounts are on the bed....looked like 6 to me but I thought it was only 4...we were thinking about cutting out some spots on the bed so we could get to them...i have a pile of places to patch anyway...the driver floor board is almost gone and somemore spots on the passenger

8 body mounts on the bed, after I did my last BL, I just went to 4 mounts.
Does your tranny go in to all gears now after the bodylift? When ive done my last 2 had to hammer the trans tunnel down.
Watch your fuel filler hose itll get tight on ya in hurry.
BTW I would have done a 3in BL and none less on the D50 it has kinda wimpy fender opeinings.
