Default Tcase drop help

** Yes, I know this is a temporary fix. Someone of us cant afford a SYE right now. So this is what I'm doing and I understand. **

Okay, so I just installed my bastard pack and Thunderbird coils, and got exactly 3.5" if lift all the way around, lucky me I know. But that's where my luck ended, First my trac bar bushing was seized so that took forever to get off. And then to top it all of all up my upper stock bolts, and one of my lower shock mounts broke, in the rear. So I got all of that fixed. But I'm really worried about my tcase drop because I feel like those bolts are all going to brake or the weld net is going to brake/ strip.

So I was wonder what you guys thought was the best way to go about taking this project on? Since right now I'm assuming I'm going to brake all of them.

And my other question is can I drive with it undropped? (The only vibes I get at all is between 25-30 accelerating.)


Thanks for the help and advise,
-Zack

this might not help if you got carpet but i dont have carpet and there two holes in the floor on both sides one hole is almost directly above one of the bolts and the other isnt really but you can get in there and soak them with pb blaster thats what i did and i got them both out without breaking them. but on the studs i had to weld a nut to the them out jam nuts didnt work.

Really? I might try that. I have another problem of mt seats nuts are rusted out and I have no way to get them back on after theyre off. But i need to fix a small whole in my drive side floor board.
