    I'm in the process of getting stock body bolts to remove my lift. Anyone in here have a set?

    Just go to Ace hardware and get some shorter grade 10.9 bolts that match up to yours.

    Grade 8.8 would probably be ok too.

    No, usually just hammering the pinchweld is enough to clear 33's.

    sweet! sounds like I'm golden as far as offroad capability once i get new tires. Gotta have that where i live. In the spring melt off and winter or after a good rain theres not many roads messier than the roads around my house.

    are all the bolts around the truck the same or should i pull one from various areas to match up? like between the body and bed and front clip?

    I would pull one cab, one clip, and one bed and compare them...The clip and the cab bolts should be the same. But the bed bolts may be different because they thread up into the bed instead of down and attached w/ a bolt.

    When i removed the factory body bolts to put my BL on, they were bent :eek: The previous owner of my truck had gotten Rear-ended and it bent the body bolts. Kinda scary.

    just imagine if the 3" lift had been on there in the accident. way more leverage to shear those bolts off.
