Thanks for all the info. Those 16mm bolts on the body mounts were a huge pain. I did use the wrench to prop them up then smack them around with a hammer to get the bolts out. They got a bit bent from hammer use but I was able to flatten them out in the vice. After those issues it went fine. As mentioned earlier, there were 2 mounts to the rear just in front if the muffler for a total of 12 mounts. Wasn't a difficult project but some tight places and time consuming. I'm no mechanic but atleast it only require basic tools. Ended up taking me around 4-5 hours in all.
-if you compare the RC pic to the More pic, you can see Rc put the location of the mounts in the center front part where they are really in front of muffler where more put it

Thanks for the tips. I couldn't find any write ups on body lifts on here and the directions from RC were somewhat off. The M.O.R.E lift and instructions would have been a better buy prob in hindsight.
Lift came out good. Added this 1.25" to my 4" suspension lift. I went from a BB lift to a 4" and didn't really see much of a difference and have been wanting more since. I haven't put on the bumper replicator brackets yet and not sure I will. Gaps not really noticeable in the front or rear and new bumpers are in my future.
