    I Started taking the old body lift off of my wifes 74 cj5 tonight. It had a "3 Inch lift" some of the pucks where double statcked in some areas that sort of fun stuff. Anyways I am nocking it down to just a one inch body lift and I wanted to make sure I had all of the mounts in the proper areas. The PO did some scary things on this poor jeep. Anyways where I have the mounts (this is just refering to the passangers side thinking they are going to be the same for both) is on the very back corner of the tub, one under the the passangers seat, on in the center of the floor board, and one at the front corner of the tub where it meets the fender, and the radiator one. Is there anypoints that I am Missing?? Also there was one set in about a foot from the rear tub corner that I don't know if it was suposed to be there, because it fell off when I removed the bolt and upon inspection it looks like a peice of angle iron :? Sorry about the long post, and thank you for any help.

    I think there was 13 mounts on my 73.

    The radiator
    2 where the fenders meet the tub
    4 in the front passenger area
    2 above the rear tires
    4 on the rear cross member

    This is just from memory. It may be off a little

    The ones above the rear tires were not used the '74 that I worked on. The mounts look just like the other body mounts, but there were no holes in the rear cargo area for bolts to pass through.

    It had:

    1 under radiator
    2 at front fenders
    4 in front passenger area
    2 in the "channel" step-up to the rear area
    2 along the rear crossmember

    Originally, there were 4 on the rear crossmember, but the center two didn't actually bolt to the body. They were bolted, but bolted to the frame. The body just sits down on these.

    I was really woundering about the 4 across the rear bumper, on the drivers side there was what looked like a factory mount, but on the passanger side it was a cut peice of angle iron. Also where you said on the front fender you ment on the rear of the fender where it meets the tub right? Those looked like like it had mounts there but they had rusted away and the PO had made some new brackets. Thanks for the help and hopefully I can get it all finished up tomarrow.
