OK... So the third to last step on the BL is to install these crush blocks, and weld them in. The problem I'm haveing is that I can't just wedge them in by hand. I'm sure I could tap them in with a hammer. They are about 1/8 to big. Anyone else have this problem? Or any Ideas?

Thanks
Joshua

 

haven't gotten around to that yet.

 

I twisted mine in ..
hit it with a hammer..
mine were tight!..you'll get it!

 

Hmm welding w/ a bodylift. Crush blocks?

I never welded anything on my bodylift and never had any problem in over a year of very hard use.

 

i didnt even bother...

i dont put anything in there anyway.

 

your supposed to put them in before you bolt the bed in. I don't even think my instructions mentioned them.

i didnt put them in on my truck nor any other ranger i have put body lifts on.

 

me neither, mine are still in the box with some extra bolts and stuff. i dont carry anything in the bed so no biggy for me.

 

Ive never even heard of that prcedure!!! oh well.

 

What are they for? Like to keep the bed from crushing in or something?

 

yes that is what they are for, i didnt think i would need them so i said screw it.

 

so...ya dont need them?

how sturdy would it be w/o them? jw...

 

sturdy enough. mine is fine.

 

those instructions are retarted. they tell you to put them in after you already torqued the bed bolts. I'm putting them in tomorrow. Better safe than sorry.

 

Yea the instuctions SUCK all together. I heat my house with wood in the winter. So I carry lots of wood with my truck, Guess I should put them in.
