The bushings I’m using or out of a 1998 Jeep Wrangler you have to enlarge the hole in the frame and all the bushings are the same height so you have to use a spacer to make up the difference because the factory bushes were taller on one end or the other and then you’ll need new bolts Haven’t gotten to the grill yet to see what kind of spacer I will be there and the bed will probably have to have a spacers to match back up perfectly straight I had to add a little body lift To clear the six speed so I don’t know exactly what it would take to put on a non-modified truck

To use the Jeep 1997 to 2006 body mounts you have to in large the frame hole I used a hole saw and a 1/2” spacer on the rear body mounts on the grill I don’t know on a stock truck mine has a body lift I used the big holes in the frame with the Jeep bushings I had to go with a body lift to clear the transmission I think crown jeep parts have the rubber bushings none of my measurements are exact

Sound deadening was going good until I ran out one box supposed to do a complete car not going to happen. Hope to crank it by Christmas that will be my Present to myself
