well, thee are a couple spots under the bed, where the frame rails have a bracket and a rail that goes side to side under the bed sits on them, but there is no bolt there, and they are diaganol, just putting a lift block with square ends would sit flat on bottom, not on top, so Id have to cut each end at an angle, but nothing would be there holding them in, I guess I cude use 3 to 4 peices of plumbers tape and go from bed rail to frame aroudn the dirc. of the block to hold it where it should be, because it isnt where I can get a bolt to. I will keep thinking of an idea, but I am thinking I might go with the AC body lift (I think it was AC where I saw it), it is 90 bucks and comes wiht the gas tank filler extension, and all new lines and stuff required for my truck

I make bolt-on "bed spacers" that fill the gap between the bed/body and the frame where is supported but not firmly attached:

Here's a 3" spacer on my 4Runner:



and a 1" spacer:

yeah, ive sen those, but uinder my bed there is just the 2 rails that go side to side, and the space on the frame right under the rails are taken by the stock litle angled bracket, so nowhere for those unless I had like 5.5 inch spacers from frame to bed somewhere else. if I have you make tmy kit Ill probably just have you make something for the 12 blocks I got. then make som custom brackets thjat turn my angled ones flat and then make my own blocks to whatever size I need. would this stuff work for the 4 spacers to my bed or is it just not the right kinda material??

I gues I don't know about the brackets you are talking about, nothing like that on my 1st gen. 4Runner. There should only be 10 body mounts, 5 per side, one front, one rear and one at each of the A, B, and C pillars. My bed spacers are under rear wheel well where the stock roll bar mounting foot it located (I suspect that is why the support is there).
