I installed a 3" body lift a few months back, and in doing so, I overtightened the bolts and stripped out the factory body mounts. I'd like to replace the mounts/bushings, but I'm not sure where to get the parts.

The Daystar kit (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DYS-KF04009BK/?rtype=10) seems to only be the rubber portion and not the metal portion where the bolt screws into.

Does anyone have a link to replacement body mounts/bushings which include the metal part as well?
 






I drilled every one of my mounts out with a 1/2 inch drill bit and used lock nuts on the mounting bolts. The bolts in the kit are more then long enough to do it.
 






I believe a dealership is the only place that provides the replacement metal parts for the body mount bushings. You could also try Torrie at fastpartsnetwork.com as they are not listed, but he may be able to get them.

you could always try ebay or a junkyard.

or drill them out, as previously suggested
