Default Need a BL Doctor ... quick :(

I am putting a 1" BL on my 2-dr today and I can't get the body to lift off the frame. I have all the dirvers side bolts loose and the passenger side bolts are OFF. I have all of them accounted for - each side has a front core, (2) at the rockers, rear cross member over shock, and rear bumper. (8) pucks all together PLUS the front cores. I'm jacking the pass side up on the body seam and its still taking the frame with it. I've even tried jacking it up at points up front and in the back to see if I could get individual mounts to separate ...and nada.
I've done much more complicated BL's before and never had this problem - WTF?

I've gone over the undercariage like a hawk and I see nothing obvious - especially nothing that would hold it as tight as it is - I mean its like the bolts are still on. I don't get it.

Don't jack on the body seam, jack between the body mounts underneath, use some short 4x4's on top of a foor jack to dipurse the weight. Only thing I can think of thay may be causing it.

For sure use the 2x4 to disperse the weight but if you have two jacks, maybe(add disclaimer here) try lifting it from both sides at the same time. Good luck!

There Are 2 In Rear By The Bumper 2 Over Axle And 2 On Each Side Plus The Two On The Front. I Just Did Mine And You Have To Jack It High Before It Makes The Gap. Make Sure You Really Loosen The Other Side Not Just A Little Bit Or It Will Stay Together. Hope This Helps

I used a high lift jack on my Rubicon rocker guards. Worked great.
