Ok so I was just cruising for a t case drop and all the picture I saw look like the drop consists of 4 bushings in metal tubes and longer bolts. From someone who has installed one, is this all they are? And if so, can I get away with cutting the eyes off the extra set of shocks I have (before they go to scrap), getting some longer bolts and washers for the top an bottom and using that. I know they only cost like $45 of so, but the measurements are right and saving $45 now gives me that to spend somewhere else on my project.

 

just find some nice square 1" steel tubing and drill some holes in it and buy 1" longer bolts , thats what i did and works perfect

 

I was wondering about the rubber bushings in most kits claiming to further reduce vibes.

 

I agree. I installed the one that came with the RC lift but if it were all i needed I would just do this ^^

my #200 post

 

x2

 

theres no rubber bushings from the factory , thats what the rubber trans mount is for , you'll be fine , http://www.carparts.com/ROUGH-COUNTR...2336_10618.car

 

Thanks for the input guys.

 

some of these parts companies sell are so simple to make and way over priced for what it is

 

That's what I was seeing, they looked simple enough to build on my own and didn't want to spend where I don't have to since I'm laid off and on a tight budget.

 

i had 1" square stock laying around , im sure you could come across some somewhere for free , i weld end caps on it just to keep so mud and dirt out of it too but its not really nessacary

 

I'm sure I can find something lying around somewhere, I only need 6 inches or so to work with.

 

yea well x2 i think mine i made were 7" each i left a little extra room

 

Extra room doesn't hurt at all. Do you have pics of them with the end caps on them?

 

ill take some in the morning

 

Thanx, in NY, I think it's best to seal them up so I don't end up with a salt mine inside.
