Here's a pic of the mounts I made for the body. I used 3"X3"X1/4" square tubing and cut off one side to make a U. I bought a bushing kit from DIY4X.com. Which consists of a 2" sleeve bushing, a greasable bolt, and DOM tubing. The 3" tubing I made into a U was bolted to the front body mount bolt hole. This way all I had to do was weld a locking nut to the U, and drop a bolt in the original bolt hole in the body. Then I made a bracket to weld to the bushing DOM tube. The bracket will be welded to the frame. You know you did it right when you can use the same exact bracket on the other side of the truck. I made the bracket that holds the bushing out of 2"x3"X1/4" tubing.
