thanks for the kudos... i pulled the front forward about 2" and the rear i pushed as far back as possible... 11.5". however i now have full hydro steering in the front (meaning no steering gearbox in the way) and am about to convert the rear to 4-link with coilovers so i may be stretching it some more. I am running right about 105.5". looking to go about 110" if i deem it necessary!

i have always bought replacement body mounts from Energy... Welcome to Energy Suspension!

but you can always get through summit or jegs or even jcwhitney.

none of the kits i know of sell bolts with their kits... too many varibles and they dont wanna jack up the price for bolts prolly most wouldnt use anyway. just go to Tractor Supply and buy a bag or grade 8's with all the washers and nuts and everything.
