when i ordered the poly body mounts i got the front core support not all the bushings i needed, but if you only need the core support bushing you can get them. (Chris at 4wheelcustoms.com). I am nnot sure why i got such a big box....

This is both front core support poly bushings and washers and sleaves. it was $26 not bad. too bad i needed all the mounts. a fast phone call fixed the issue.

I hit all the body mount bolts with PB Blaster for 2 week prior to installing the lift. the bolts came out easy the mount shells were the hard part.. i cut a lug wrench and used a sledge hammer to break loose. some bushings i burned and a few i used a sawzall and cut the shell. here is the new body mount kit (Poly) and the PA 3" body Lift kit and the old rubber bushings.

I tossed the rubber bushings and cleaned and painted the shels. not seen i cut the nut off the bottom shell. This made the new install much easier.

After all the bolts were out and the shells split apart. I started to jack the body up. (Look for wires, connectors and other things that migh need to be removed. i loosened the steering column and undid the ebrake.) jack slowly and look many times. i placed a 4X4 in the spot next tothe mount and went to the front to lift it. i did driver side then pass side.
