Body Lift
How were all the body mount bolts have any issues getting to them or were they rusted in real bad? I just did the t/s lift last week and all the bolts were so rusted I ended up cutting one and then torching a hole in the hitch to get the drivers side top bolt out and my drivers side torsion was so rusted that I ended up giving up on it with only 7 turns to let the arokroil and pb do there job cause I was afraid the 18" breaker bar and 3' pipe I had on it would snap it. In all the t/s lift probably took 3-4 hours and some guys said they had it in 1-2. I have a body lift sitting in my garage but if its going to be anything like the t/s lift then its going to have to wait till spring cause my truck is too tall to get in the garage and i don't want to spend 6 hours outside in the u.p. winter trying to cut rusty bolts off
The bolts weren't bad at all. I had a really hard time with my shackle bolts too but my t bars were fine. My truck is pretty rust free though and it sounds like you have some problems with it. What I would do is start pb blasting them now just to eat any corrosion that might be there. Or just try to remove one or two and see how it is.
My bolts for my TS lift were gawd awful. But I figured out a method and got em out okay. Now my body bolts for my nerf bars were a different story, I was using an impact wrench to try and get them out as I didn't have a breaker bar. Turns out I had me a nice 18" socket handle to use.
Bringing up the nerf bars. Do you think they would look bad if I kept them on?

Underneath its not that rusty I really didn't expect the t/s lift to go as bad as it did and I haven't even looked at the body mounts yet but I guess ill get them soaking as soon as I can cause I decided I really want it in so I can get some new rims and tires the 40$ set of tires I bought a few weeks ago aren't cutting it in this snow. As for the nerf bars I would keep them on it really hides a body lift good if they mount to the frame though it would probably look better if you lifted them to where they were before the body lift
