Anyone have an Energy Suspension body mount kit installed?

If you mean the thinner rectangular ones that button (plastic single use push buttons) to the body where it rests on the frame, that's 4147. Dimensions are at the top of that pdf. There are 2 holes each and they're recessed slightly so the head of the button doesn't protrude. Positions 4, 5 & 6 all use that same 4145 bushing, with the difference being #4 is the one that bolts from the top through the tub.

As it was not pictured in the pdf I didn't get it was 4147 !

How far off the frame does the body have to go for installing one of these kits?
Can the body be lifted far enough without removing the steering column and brake lines (and wiring and heater and etc..)?
Or is this really up to how rusted and stubborn it is to remove the existing body mounts?

Any input on this?

My steering column was already out, but I don't think there would be a problem. I loosened all the body mount bolts, then used a floor jack with a 4x4 to spread the load and raised one side enough to slide in the new mounts. I thought because the old bolts were loose it was going to be a piece of cake. Ending up spending a couple of days using a saw or angle grinder with a cutoff disk to get the bolts out. The new ones went it without a hitch.

do any of you guys have pictures of the body mounts for the rear sill? mine has had some modifications and the mounts dont seem to have a proper place to go. i’m going to buy an aqualu tub and hope these mounts will fit properly but i don’t know what i should be looking for
