something to do with the rearmost body mounts. older ones won't fit newer years.

Yep, different bolt size.

[jrodmorris1015]

so i can spend $80 on the kit and then buy new bolts for the rear right?

Yep. If you don't have a good bolt shop locally, try McMaster Carr.

Yep, you can do that. That's what AC (4x4parts.com) does. They have proven a little tough to source though, so you will have to weigh the value of your time. I believe they're 12mmx1.5 about 180mm long.... (someone please confirm) They are for the 2 rearmost body mounts, and thread into captive nuts in the body.

M12x1.25x180mm for the 3" lift. They can be hard to find especially 8.8 or 10.9 grade

 

 

I recommend reading up on this.

Thanks B.

 

I initially had typed 1.25, but thought that was wrong.

[Precise1]

No worries.

 

I knew they were 1.25 pitch from having dealt with them so recently but when I went to copy the thread link, I still looked to be 'sure'...

McMaster only carries up to 120mm in the 1.25 pitch.

IMHO, $70 for only 2 (two) additional rearmost body mount bolts (metric M12x1.25mm, length 180mm for 3-inch lift, grade 8.8 or higher) is too expensive, isn't it? Good deal for supplier, but... maybe, you can directly ship them from Europe (Germany, for example) with this money?

This is only difference between 1987-1990 and 1990-1995 lift kits. All other parts are the same.

Agreed. They are hard, but not impossible, to find in the US. I was considering buying perhaps a dozen and selling them at cost to those who wanted them, but I broke one captive nut loose and had to cut through the rear floor to get the bolt out. So, I will simply do the same on the other side and use cheaper standard bolts instead.
