Default Body Lift tips

Doing a 1" BL on a tj tomorrow. Any tips/advice would be greatly
appreciated. I am most worried about breaking bolts and what to do
should I bust off a few of them?

Thanks in advance.

So long as they don't bust off, remove them entirely from just one side
at a time and leave the bolts on the other side loosely threaded in so
the body doesn't slide out of position and make reinsertion of the bolts
difficult.

that happens?

Use a gallon of PB blaster on each bolt BEFORE it happens. I say avoid
breakage at all costs cause it's no fun when bolts break.

If they do break, Get some tools for extraction, pull out the broken stubs
and replace them with grade 8 hardware.
