Piecing together a body lift kit as it seems like the old go to solutions for a 2 inch kit are gone...
Ordered 10 x 2x3 inch blocks and the hardware sized I found listed here (10 grade 8 bolts cost more than the lift blocks but that’s how it goes I guess)....
assuming at least some of my almost 20 year old body mount bushings are shot... anyone know of a reliable source for a prothane replacement or similar. Rockauto lists doorman’s at 30 a piece, which would add an awful lot to the cost of this.
Found this for a sport track, how similar are the body mount bushings?

And these were the notes I found on bolt sizes:
6 Bolt (12mm x 160mm)
2 Bolt (12mm x 180mm)
2 Bolt (12mm x 200mm)
