body lift on a 92 extended cab pu

Im doing a body lift on a 92 toyota pickup and I cant get the body to separate from the frame on the last mount towards the tailgate.

This may sound stupid but there are 6 mounts on a 92 extended cab for the bed or is it 8?
any help would be appreciated.

or is there some strap im missing or something that needs top be loosed on a body lfit?
its only 1.5 so I thought would be a snap.

This might sound like a stupid question (esp since I haven't personally installed a body lift) but:

did you disconnect the gas tank filler neck stuff?

I guess it would help to know if you are getting it to seperate even a little bit, or if it's totally stuck and wont move at all

also, I'm not sure, but does the spare tire lowering crap (the chain doo-hickey) get connected to the bed at all, or is it just the frame?


Just a couple things that came to mind

Thanks, nope I didnt disconnect gas tank filler neck.
Ill look at that Didnt think it mattered if it was only 1.5 inches, the chain thing makes sense as thats the end that wont seperate
Thanks Ill try that

Should be 8 bed mounts on the pickup, 2 pair of brackets up front, a pair of brackets towards the back and then a pair of bolts through the frame rail way in back:

Yes, there are 8 mounts you need to unbolt.

4 mounts in front ( they are very close to each other)
4 mounts in the back (again they are close together)

The bed is very light - One guy can lift up one side of the box - One guy puts in the spacers. (the method we used)

I didn't unhook my gas filler neck for my 3" bl - after a few months it developed a SMALL leak only when filling up - not even enough to reach the ground, tank still builds pressure too.
