Body mount help!!

I have been racking my brain trying to get this figured out for my truck. I ordered these body mounts: Body Mount Bushings, Pick-Up, Red but now I am in need of the sleeves. I have been looking but there are some lower sleeves with a small dia. Body Mount Sleeve, Smaller Dia. Lower and a larger dia. Body Mount Sleeve, Large Lower They are numberd for positions they go in but what are the positions on the truck? I was looking at the upper sleeve and it says for position 2, where are the rest of the sleeves I will need? Can anyone help me out with this problem?

If there are two smaller sleeves, and the rest are larger, the two smaller lower sleeves fit the radiator support. The bushings should fit the same way. The two smaller bushings for the radiator support, and the rest for the other mounting points.

I don't know the direct answer, however...

I would tend to think position:

1 is the radiator core
2 is forward body mount
3 rear body mount

and then so on for the bed...

That is what I thought it would be, but like you I am unsure and don't want to order anything before I am sure!

Another question I have is, since the bushings I bought have a sleeve built into them do I even need the upper sleeve? Or can I get away with just ordering the lower sleeves?

when i installed my new body bushings i went to ford and baught just the lower sleaves ( basicly a large washer with a nut and sleave welded to it ) smaller ones for the radiater and the others for the cab itself.
