Default Body lift questions
Ok I order my body lift 2 nights ago so hopefully it will be here Tuesday, anyways, are all body/bed mount bolt have factory lock tight on them? I'm pretty sure my rear cab mounts have been replaced because they are not a torques head bolt, just a hex bolt, and any one with a manual that has body lifted there truck do you have to extended the clutch line or is it fine?

Clutch line is fine.

Stock body bolts are hex. Do you mean bed bolts. Those are supposed to be torq

Propane will take longer to heat the bolt.
Map gas one is little expensive but works better. They use to be $49.99 here at home depot and oriellys.

Propane will work if you've already got it. That's what I used. A good impact wrench makes it all easier toi

Your lift kit will come with drop brackets for the radiator. The fan shroud is mounted to the radiator and will be inthe correct position
