The assembly manual does not give the size of the bolts but part #334766. The only nut shown is for position 1 #3930109. They also show adhesive cement #9981098 is this necessary for urethane bushings?

I have a 1979 and am using the energy suspension kit. Once I took off the bolts I realized they were shot and I purchased a new set from ecklers. Yes you can do the job with a floor jack and a 4x4 beam. Make sure to use a beam as it will support the body. There are a number of things you will need to disconnect as you jack up the body from the frame so go slow. I rushed when I was jacking it up and I snapped a ground cable that sits on driver side. I have not finished the job but was good to hear someone else is trying this. I also had to disconnect the front and rear bumpers, and steering gear.
