Default Body to frame bolts.

I saw a video showing body removal from the frame for an older JK. Mine seems to be different. Did they change the way the body is bolted to the frame in 2015, or maybe earlier?

Look up the video from Teraflex or any of the installation instructions for a body lift to show you where the mounts are. Pretty sure the only difference over the years is between the 2dr and the 4dr. The JK has 10 mounts while the JKU has 12.

What are you seeing that seems different on your JK? Is something not separating?

In the video the bolt heads appear to be in the body, and the nuts appear to be on the bottom of the frame. In my 2015 (after a frame replacement) the bolt heads are under the frame. I don't know if that was something the body shop did, or something new in JKs. The body shop claims it is stock Jeep, but I wonder

My 2012 has the bolts drop out of the bottom with captive nuts in the body somewhere. I've never seen them reversed
