G Body frame mount kits

[justacruzr2]

Hey everyone. Anybody ever buy one of those frame mount kits? Before I spend the dough, do any of you know if they are complete? Are the washers and small tubes that come with it supposed to replace the original spacers? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Can you be more specific -- part number? manufacturer? It'll be much easier to provide you with better feedback.

If you are talking about the package from Sphon performance yes that is correct.

I have a Prothane kit and it is complete, except for the bolts. Most likely, you will need bolts.

Kirben sells the bolts slightly cheaper than Gbodyparts

I just used this kit from Summit on my 82 Bonneville. A couple of members recommended them. I was very happy with them and they installed easily as per the directions. Although my bolts were no good , I didn’t buy a set. I just went to the junkyard and got my bolts. I ended up even getting extra bolts and they were all rust free. Did I mention , it took about 10 different cars? Lol It wasn’t a big deal as I have an impact gun .

Thanks to everyone for your replies. The kits I'm asking about are all those ones you see when you google or go to eBay. The pictures seem all the same other than some are red and some are black. All of them show bolts though. Anyway, Jimmy pretty much answered my question.. The cheapest one I saw was $106.

Battery powered impact I suppose. The factory body bolts are the best in my opinion and I’m guessing the factory bolts are all grade 8 hardened bolts.

Yes , it' a Craftsman 19.2 lithium. Best tool I ever bought . Its over 3 years old and still kicking tail with the original battery. Paid
150.00 for it on sale. As you guys know , I pull lots of suspension parts and Blazer sets. For years I ratcheted because cordless impacts started at 300-400 dollars. When I saw that Craftsman , I said what the heck..timo22
