Default Rubicon Express Control Arm Drop Brackets...need a hardware list...

Hey guys,

I just found a set of Rubicon Express Control Arm Drop Brackets on Craigslist for $100 shipped. What I didn't know was that it was just the brackets and braces, no bolts or crush sleeves.

I couldn't find a kit on RE's website so I was hoping maybe someone out there still has their instructions and/or knows the sizes I would need to install this setup?

Would be much appreciated!

Without the braces you don't want to run them. You take the chance of tearing them off if you hit a good size bump or if you wheel it.

Yea, I have a Lowe's right across the street from my work. I'll be heading there soon. As for the crush sleeve's, I'm just thinking about getting some fence post and cutting it to size. I don't think it will rattle because it is designed to have pressure on it, right? If it does rattle I could just get a couple fat washers that fits the inside diameter of the fence post. I dunno, that's what my crazy mind came up with!
