Crux

Doing the 1" 4crawler bodylift on a 97 4Runner.

Disconnected the rag steering joint.
Loosened the auto trans shifter bar.
Removed the front bumper.
Loosen all the body mounts.
Removed all the bolts that went through the bushings etc from one side.
Made sure the battery was disconnected.

Tried raising up the body with a jack and board on the pinch weld.
It goes up a little ways and I notice a gap start between all the bushings and the body except for the rear mount.

I noticed that there are two bolts in the rear mount screwed into nuts welded onto the frame. Do I have to remove these bolts as well?
I read a lot of different instructions but didn't see any mention of removing these bolts.
If I do have to remove them, it seems the only way to get to them is removing the rear bumper

Here's a pic of the two bolts that seem to be preventing the rear from raising.



Thnx!

No, you don't have to remove those. You'll see why once you get it on the pucks.

Yep, you were right. I placed the bottle jack under the rear bumper to help with the lift and all the blocks went in no problem.
Time to do the other side
