Can anyone tell me what they have done to the rear cab mounts on the frame to fix the sag? Mine have let the factory bushings fall through. I want to bl, but don't know what to do about the cab mounts? Please help!

You Need a large washer to weld onto the bracket here is a link for a washer with a large enough hole in the middle like the factory bracket

The washer would be the easiest, you can also make them out of 1/8" plate, I would do all 4 cab mounts since the fronts wont be much better, After the body lift put some plates on top of the passenger side pucks to keep them from going through the floor, the driverside has extra plating from the factory and doesn't seem to have the same problem.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the help. I figured something along those lines would work. I read this entire thread last night, gathering all of the info I can.

Does anyone have pictures of the fixed mounts and/or the plates on top of the body mount pucks?


And would I be able to get away with 33x12.50s on 10" wide wheels with a 2" bl and cranked level? Even if some bumper trimming was needed?

I have a 2" block and cranked to level, I would like to ditch the block and crank it down a bit.

In wv, a body lift or block in the rear requires a modified inspection sticker. I have access to a regular sticker if I only run a 2" body lift. I would like to keep to a regular sticker. Makes my life a lot easier.

You should be able to run 33's like that
