Default Help with new body lift

i am 90% done with my install. The rear two mount bolts are bigger than the rest. i've tried lowes, home depot, tractor supply, and fastenal and could not find a longer bolt to replace the stock ones. i am on vacation starting tommorow so the jeep will be parked for a week. i called bds they told me to contact the 4x4 connection(where i got mine). they out of pocket till monday. I don't even know what size they are.

anybody know where i can get these bolts?

The size of the two rear bolts should be 14-2.0x130mm...Refer to the diagram for # 11 & 12....I got my BL from M.O.R.E, you can try giving them a call & see if they could sell you the bolts..

This is why I have my eye on the Daystar body lift because it uses a much different system. Instead of funky longer bolts and shiny aluminum hockey pucks it uses stud extenders and spacers that are shaped exactly like the stock body isolators. Much cleaner system if you ask me...

I've been wondering - as the daystar goes under where a normal BL puck goes, replacing the stock mount instead of going over it, if a 2" BDS BL for example could be mounted in line with a a daystar 1" BL...to give a 3" BL?

Would probably just need longer bolts.

Love my Daystar 1" BL. Have had it for about a year and over 10K miles

Not sure why MORE people don't use it!(pun somewhat intended!) I know it costs more.
