Anyone use an Energy Suspension bodymount kit?

What did you do as far as tightening down the bolts? All of my bolts seems to either stop, or bottom out in the nut, and the top squish pad and plate sandwich begins to spin around on the frame mount.

Should I snake a small wrench in there and hold that top nut or what?

The Energy Suspension instructions did not refer to shimming the pads or anything IIRC.....

Need some help here guys!

You need to put a wrench or other device to keep the plate from turning. The nut welded to the plate is a locking nut. The first time you put a bolt through that style nut is fairly difficult...

I think I used some shorter bolts where needed too. Since most of these rigs are a little different I don't expect a universal kit to fit right.

SO the bolt DOES pass through the nut! Thought it might.
