Default m.o.r.e body lift problem

anyone installed a more 1" body lift on a 08 4dr rubicon?? I have removed all of the factory bolts, The rear body mount location 11/12 are a different size and thread. The included hardware does not fit.
Any help would be great.

I have attached the M.O.R.E. instructions just in case you didnt get one. Page 1 of the intructions shows the bolt size for #11&12 are (14-2.0x130mm) while the other 10 bolts are (12-1.75x130mm). Hope this helps...

The instructions that they include with the lift isn't updated from the one he just posted. The ones I got said in bold that the 2 larger bolts and larger bored pucks go in locations 9 & 10. THIS IS WRONG, I ran into this same problem. The larger bolts and pucks go in locations 11 & 12 (the very back 2 mounts).

I was amazed on how they can mess up such a simple process in the instructions. It added like 45 mins to my install because i had to figure it out on my own. I'm pretty sure i got '07 instructions with and '08 kit

The kit and instructions for an 07 is different for an 08. Did you make sure to order a kit for an 08?

The kit that I got did not have the correct bolts for the rear of my 08 JK. So we put the original bolts into a "bolt stretcher" to get me by while waiting for the correct bolts.

I made sure I had a '08 kit. I probably got '07 instructions cuz I know they were wrong but once I figured it out i haven't had any problems since.

Thanks everyone. As turns out I have the 07 instructions and no larger bolts. I will have to source them out somewhere local.
