Default Help! Replacing Body Mounts...

1975 with the front bumper completely removed except for the frame extension. From the looks of it there is no need to remove it to raise the body. What am I missing? Is there some connection that i have missed?

Thank you for any help.

Not familiar with 75's but if the frame extension is bolted to the front frame horns you will have to remove the bolts to lift the body. Make sure you remove all of the rear bumper supports also. If you are only lifting a little you probably won't have to remove the ground straps.
