so today i took her for a spin, i have alot of DS vibration. so i started to install the trans drop kit, low and behold one bolt broke and the two studs were not coming out. so after trying to drill the broke bolt out i ended up cutting in to the frame. i cut out small squares and then weld up my own bracket to fit in the frame with a nut welded to it. i will have pictures up when im done with it.
