I'm installing a 1 inch Daystar kit on my YJ and trying to figure out a few things. I built the Jeep from about 5 other jeeps, and don't really have any of my old body mounts around anymore. With the daystar kit you're supposed to reuse what they call the "stock steel insert". When I bought it it said it came with everything new so you didn't have to reuse anything(good since I don't know where any of the old stuff went). Do I need to get these through an auto parts store? Any other ideas? Really want to get this body bolted on so I can finish her up.

I hope this works, I'm pasting a link to pdf of the installation instructions. In pictures A and B it shows the guy removing the "stock steel insert" from the original body mounts and inserting it into the new mount. I went through any old mounts I could find and there was nothing there that I would even consider reusing. Here is the PDF http://daystarweb.com/attachments/instructions/kj/p10432.pdf
If this link doesn't work I'll try again.

Thomas,
What kit did you get? Did you get the kit that is a body lift & body mount all in one, like this:
1" Body Lift by Daystar and Other Jeep Parts and Jeep Accessories by 4 Wheel Drive Hardware-RH2
I don't have the answer to your question, but I'm looking into buying one and was curious

I talked to a guy at work (a non jeeper) who said that the sleeve is there to prevent you from crushing the mount when you torque it down.
It appears that that diameter isn't the important part, but the length is, so if you end up making your own, make sure they are the same size as the stock ones.
