Brake lines should be attached below your chassis.. Bodylift isnt an issue..

You could cut some holes in the floor, remove studs. Add bolts, do them up and weld your floor back together. Thats what someone did on mine.. But would be somewhat dodgy, and stupid. And makes removing the body an angle grinder job

And deal with a cracked floor down the track...
Socket bolts are the answer. Cutting out the stock captive bolts is a pain, and the end result is more stress on the floor.
Just get the Just Cruzin kit. It's high quality and will last for years.
