Ok SURPRISE!! I have actual update pics!! LOL

Anyways, getting the cab set onto the frame so that i can work on getting brakes system installed, rough idea for electrical layout, fitment to panels and so on. Anyways, with that said, I have got the two large front mounts in no issue, BUT the rear ones have a caged nut. Now my caged nuts are still in good condition, BUT the new Energy suspension bolts are to big it appears, am I seeing this correctly? Simple thing is just cut out the cage nuts and mount and use the supplied nuts, is this what it typically done?
Thanks in advance for help

UPDATED: Ok so it seems that i need to remove the original Caged Nuts and cage and install the bolts and nuts that came in the kit due to sleeve size is larger in the kit. No problem, can do.
