I've read about the Kleiner mod for the trunk area but one thing I haven't determined is should all 4 of the rear quick-jack/bumper mounts be done the same or just the top ones on each side? Without the body on I'm unsure if its needed for all 4, though it just makes sense to go ahead and do all 4 quick jack mounts the same way? 1/2" threaded rod and a handful of nuts/washers each sounds like it will greatly alleviate future pain.
I appreciate any thoughts/observations.
Thanks!

All four for sure. The top ones are the most crucial, but if you want an even look, go all four rear mounts.

LOL - I think I was posting in your build thread that you should look into the Kleiner mod as you were typing this. Yes, do all 4 on the rear. Most people use 7/16-14 couplers and rod.

Don't use 1/2", use 7/16-14. I used 1/2 by mistake and now I have to figure out how to mount stuff that was designed for 7/16.

Yet another "Kleiner Solution" that we all have benefited from.

Sir Jeffski Rocks!

All 4. The lower right side is actually the one with the least amount of clearance.

Cheers,
Jeff

When is the best time to perform this? Trunk aluminum time?

Pretty sure you can do it anytime... but definitely before trunk aluminum goes in!

Do all four prior to installing the fuel tank…unless you just really enjoy doing things the hard way! ;)
