Default Re: Any good tips to lining up body bolts?

I placed the tapered punches at the opposite corners of the body and lined them up. Was able to drop the body down without any problem. Body was lowered using two screw jacks on each side of the body. The jacks were on concrete blocks near the center of gravity. The body was sitting on two land scape timbers at the front and rear which were supported on the four corners by stacks of concrete blocks. As lowered the body, would move concrete blocks, and wooden shims until everything lined up with the punches, then dropped the four corner body bolts in place. Mine was a fordor.
