to ensure the BFH Body Mount is seated firmly against the
side of the frame rail before welding.
12. Securely tack the BFH Body Mount to the frame rail
at all four corners, then fully weld it in place. Note that it
may be advantageous to weld in short stitches, move to the
next body mount, then come back and weld another stitch
at intervals, in order to keep the metal of the body mount
from heating up enough to melt or heat damage the body
mount bushing. It may be difficult to reach the seam along
the top surface of the BFH Body Mount,with a MIG gun. If
so, it may be easier to weld that seam from below, with the
MIG gun through the oval access hole on the bottom of the
BFH Body Mount. Note that each BFH Body Mount has a
couple of small notches in the bottom edge where it meets
the frame rail. Leave these notches clear and unobstructed
from weld bead, as they are designed to allow water and
dirt to drain from the inside of the mount to discourage
rust.
13. Once there is enough weld to securely hold the BFH
Body Mount in place and support the weight of the Jeep’s
body (if welding short stitches in intervals as recommended
above), lower the floor jack, move it to the next body mount
location, and repeat the preceding steps.
14. After all six BFH Body Mounts have been installed,
revisit each body mount bolt and ensure it is fully tightened.
The recommended torque specification for these bolts is 50
ft./lbs.
15. The bare steel of the BFH Body Mounts and the areas
of the frame that were ground/sanded will need to be
painted to prevent rust. Careful preparation will make a
big difference in the quality and longevity of your paint
job, even using “rattle can” aerosol paints. Begin by
thoroughly cleaning the metal with solvent or de-greaser,
then make sure all residue is removed. You may want to
mask off the body bushings, body bolt heads and anything
else in the area that may be hit by overspray. Even if you
use cheap paint, try to use a good quality primer. “Etching”
primers are best to use on bare, unpainted metal. Allow it
to properly dry before painting, and between paint coats.
Congratulations, you have completed installation of
your BFH™ Body Mounts!
ALTERNATE INSTALLATION
An alternative installation strategy may be used at
the installer’s discretion: The BFH Body Mounts are
designed so that they may be raised up to 1” higher
than the stock body mount perches. This would, in
effect, yield a 1” body lift while using stock body mount
bushings without body lift pucks (body lift components
would still be needed at the remaining body mount
locations), all while tucking the body mounts an extra
inch higher out of the rocks. We do not provide a
step-by-step procedure for performing this installation
method, however it may be accomplished on a “Do-
It-Yourself” basis by a skilled installer with proper
planning and execution.
