Body lift help
Installing a 1 1/4 body lift and running into minor problems. First, the passenger side 18 mm bolt in the center of the mount backs out almost completely but spins freely. I cannot get the bolt to come off. I have taken the center bolt out on all but the center ones. Any one else have this problem?

.....Jeep has changed a few of those body mount location throughout the years that I lost track of it. As long as you don't physically see those body mounts you should be ok...
......As for the bolt that keeps spinning freely, get something (large screw driver) to pry down on the bolt as you loosen it with your ratchet. The bolt needs some kind of tension to prevent it from spinning/not coming loose...
......Good luck on the install, don't forget to post pics when you are all done....

10 mounting points
I just checked the mounts on my 2012 and it has 10 mounting points
-The front
-At the end of the front fender flare
-In between/middle of the front & rear doors
-At the end of the rear passenger doors
-At the end closest to the rear bumper.
**** I did see a cut out/hole that would have been a possible body mount just right next to the rear coil springs. If the mount was there that would have been the 12th one *****

Interesting. Found out the 18mm bolts just needed some pressure with a pry bay to pop out. My directions didn't specify that :/ ill check that location

The MORE BL is different. If you look at the first pic it shows (2ea) new black body mounts that is already spaced 1" and replaces the entire part you are trying to work on. See if using a Heavier Hammer will help as you pound out the bolt....
