Body Lift Installation

I have a 3" trial master body lift and i cannot get the bolts out with the torx 47 bit for the bed ones. i stripped two of them and didnt want to try on the others, the directions are confusing. Does anybody know any tricks for installing the kit. ALso is it neccesary to drain and remove the raditor. Anybody who has put on this lift that has any help would be appreciated cuz i dont want to pay $300 to get it put on

you can always drill out those bolts that you strip out and yes it is nasesary to drain the radiator no it is not nasisary to remove it, hope this helps

you need to remove the tranny lines that go into the radiator, to properly bend them and get the correct fitment, you can do it without draining but you run the chance of crimping those metal lines, read the instructions and follow them, they are there for a reason

an impact driver is good for gettin those bolts out(not an impact gun its this thing you put a bit on and hit with a hammer and when you hit it it spins putting pressure on the bolt so you don't strip it).i stripped on before i found my impact driver and had to weld a bolt to the top of it.
