Suspension bolts, Frame hardware, & Stepside Questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello everyone,
Just got done painting my frame and buying a 2.5 lift for my 82' GMC 3/4 ton 4x4. Does anyone know if there is a suspension bolt kit minus u-bolts you can buy or am I going to piece it all together? Same question for body mounts. Would anyone know the sizes for these?

I think I met a man on here who built his own stepside bed sides out of sheet metal and rectangle tubing. It looked great in the pictures. I would really like to get a hold of him. I was thinking of doing something close to that.

Thanks for any help.
John

body mounts are a kit from lmc as for the suspention i dont know but i think they have one as well

Thanks for the reply. I have the new body mounts. I just need the size and the length of the bolts. The bolts on my old cab have to be torched (too rusty) so I threw them out at the time of disassembly.
