Removing 3 inch Body lift

[Drunkmonkey]

So my truck came with a 3 inch body lift, I added 5.5 suspension, tires, and wheels. Now time for new front bumper, found a company that makes one I want, but its basically a direct bolt on but the body lift has to go. I think they are kinda cheesy anyways. My question is I have reviewed the installation instructions and the removal looks pretty straight forward, but I have no idea where I would be able to find the factory bolts to attach the body to the frame?
Any Ideas?

Ford would have them but they would probably cost $10 each. I would try a Fastenal dealer if you have one near you.

Go to ford and get the dimmensions for the bolts and then do the above and get them somewhere else. Heck you could go to just about any hardware store and pick up grade 8 hardware.

ya just pull one of your bolts out and get a set 3"s shorter JUST KEEP IN MIND not all the bolts are the same length

If you don't mind used bolts, I think I have all the ones from mine. I just put the body lift on it July.
The bolts are not rusted at all I don't think (not a spec of rust on the truck).

If you want, I can look in my pile-o-crap for them. I should have them.

Dog boy that would be awesome, went to dealership, they want 180$ for 14 bolts.

Are you gonna get rid of the BL once you remove it?
I'd be interested in it if you are.

Ok, sorry, I've completely blanked on those all week.. I'll check in the morning when I'm out in the garage.


You do have a short be right? Long beds have 8 bed bolts, and short bed only have 6. Mines a short bed, so I will only have the bolts for a short bed truck (12 bolts I beliveve, 6 for cab, 6 for bed)

LOL...seriously...that much for 14 bolts?
I'd just buy grade 8's at tractor supply...probably looking at just a few bucks.
