Default Rough country body lift?

On all the other body lifts they supply new longer body mount bolts but on the rough country u just use the old ones wont they be to short since you are adding a 1.25 they supply the 2 bolts for each body mount but not the center with the washer..

Not an issue, everything you need is supplied in the kit. There is a link to the install guide on their website if you want to see the steps and pics.

Default Factory bolts not long enough

I recently installed RC 1.25 body lift and all went well except when I went to install my rock rails and the center body bolt (3 on each side) are not long enough and they hit the bolts on the side of the body bolt.

Any idea where I can find longer body bolts and washers to make this work.

Thanks
