Yes. Find something with a small enough I.D to fit our bolts through and then stack washers around the pipe.

Not anymore! A buddy is giving me 3" lift blocks for FREE! When I crawled under the truck I only saw 6 mounts for the cab and only two(?) mounts for the bed? Is this correct? The only thing I need now is hardware and steering adapter extender thing lol. http://www.streetperformance.com/m/c...-couplers.html Does anybody know if one of these would work?
