Default HELP!!!!! 1" MORE body lift

I am installing my MORE 1" body lift today. everything was going great until I had to put the new bolts up through the spacers into the body. The furthest back mount on the drivers side must have a bolt welded inside the body. I dont know if I twisted it loose or what but when I put the new bolt in it just spins and doesnt grab anything. Ihave taken half of the back of the jeep apart, but I cant find a way to get in there to see whats going on. Any ideas?

It is possible that the original bolt retaining clips was still in there and when you slid the puck in there it is possibly blocking the hole. I had one do that to me when I put mine in.

I thought about that, but I have all 10 clips on my bench.

2008's do have the body mounts on the cross member. They are kinda hard to see.
I did use all twelve on mine.

yup, I got a 2007 kit and needed a 2008 and up. I think Im just going to drill the pucks out, and buy a couple bigger bolts. Thanks for the help.
