Just started my body lift and gotta love living in the rust belt. only got to 2 bushings so far. Stripped one and broke the bold on the 2nd. Its gonna be fun.
Anyway, I was wondering if it makes any sense to replace all the bushings with new while Im doing the lift. Daystar kit 150.00. Not sure if its needed, but would that be better than drilling out all the bushings and using nuts and sleeves on the lift bolts?
OK, JUST FOUND MORE INFO ON BAD BUSHINGS....It appears the Day Star kit requires the use of the sleeve and other parts of the stock bushings. I had planned to jujst sawzal the damn things and use the day star kit, but I guess I can cuz I ll be cutting through the sleeves. HOWEVER, if I use bolts and nuts, do i really need sleeves? I assume the sleeves are threaded for the bolt and thats why they need to be replaced.
Please advise.....
