Hey all, just received my Smittybilt sliders the other day for my 4dr JK and I ran into a problem during installation. I had to remove the front body mount bolt on each side to grind down the washers to be able to clear a socket between it and the slider and the washer. This was simple enough until I went to replace the body mount bolts. I got the driver side bolt in fine, but cannot get the passenger side in all the way. It got about half way in, then it just spins. I tried to back it out to try again and got only spinning. It doesn't feel as if the threads are stripped, and I've tried tightening it with a lot of force pushing it up in case it was just missing the threads, but to no avail. Any ideas anyone?

 

Pull down while turning in , seems counter productive but I think the nut comes out of its perch....good luck

 

Unfortunately I have also tried this with no results. It also feels as if I can "shift" the bolt up and* down in the threads if that makes any sense, I can grasp it and without moving it side to side or spinning it and move it up and down about a millimeter it feels. Gah I'm so confused!

 

I had this when installing my body lift. Try loosening the body mounts on that side and tighten that one first then go back and tighten to side ones to the rear of it after. Thinking maybe its not lined up. Jack it up and lower it to move things around
