5. Slowly begin loosening the body mount bolt. As
you do so, keep a close eye on the spots where the body
sits on the bushing, and where the bushing sits on the
metal body mount perch. If you see the body or bushing
lift at all as you loosen the bolt, the jack is slightly too high.
Carefully lower the jack just enough that it stays sitting on
the body mount as you loosen the bolt, yet still bears some
of the body’s weight. Once you’ve verified through this
procedure that the jack is correctly adjusted, re-snug the
body mount bolt so that it will hold the body mount in place
as you cut through it.
IMPORTANT: if your oor jack is low on uid, in need
of service or tends to leak down at all, it may not be
able to perform the preceding step adequately.
6. Make sure there are no electrical wires, fuel lines
or other items in the vicinity you are working (the area
where the body mount meets the side of the frame rail). If
anything needs to be removed, relocated or temporarily
secured out of the way, do so before proceeding.
7. Use a cutting torch, plasma cutter, cut-off wheel,
reciprocating saw or other suitable cutting device to cut
the stock body mount perch from the side of the frame. If
using a cut-off wheel it might be difficult to reach the cut
you need to make along the top surface of the body mount.
Cutting the sides first, then bending them out of the way
with a large pry-bar or hammer, may allow you to get at
that area to make the cut from below. Try to make your
cuts as close to the surface of the frame rail as possible
without cutting in to the frame rail itself. Its better to leave
a little more material there at this step and grind it off later,
than to risk cutting into the frame rail.
8. Once the body mount has been fully cut from the
frame rail on all sides, remove the body mount bolt and the
severed stock body mount.
9. Use a grinder to grind away the remnants of the body
mount from the sides of the frame rail. As you get close
to the metal of the frame rail itself, switch to the flap wheel
for final smoothing without cutting into the frame rail itself.
10. Place the BFH Body Mount against the frame rail,
with the body bushing between its top surface and the
underside of the Jeep. Re-install the body mount bolt and
tighten it just enough to hold the BFH Body Mount snug.
11. Ensure that the edges of the BFH Body Mount sit
flat against the side of the Jeep’s frame rail. Due to slight
manufacturing variances from Jeep to Jeep, it may be
necessary to either grind a small area of the BFH Body
Mount’s edge, or use a bar clamp to hold it snug against
the side of the frame rail. Make any adjustments needed
