did your control arm bushings not come with sleeves? I ordered energy contol arm bushings and they came with sleeves. what was that kit worth. I am gearing up to strip and blast the frame aswell.

Could you do me a favor and measure the heighth of you body mounts? Both the top and bottom piece. Im going to make me own poor mans body mounts with rubber hockey pucks.

The body mounts are 2 1\2 inches tall, my brother just did the hockey puck trick on his jeep ike last weekend

Sweet, Thanks a lot. I'm gettin tired of my cab saggin, so I figured I get 50 pucks on ebay for 25 or 30 bucks and call it good. Gonna use however many for my truck, then use the rest as potato gun ammo. I mar even bump her up an inch extra.

Hmmmm potato gun.... Lol. The kit I got on the site is like 220 something but I got it for 100 so I think I did alright, it has inside sleves but not the outside shell if it weren't for such a good deal I probably would have gottern the energy suspension ones

Yeah, I've got 4 potato cannons and 2 of them share 2 barrels. Ive got a 4in chamber, 3 in barrel combustion. A 4 in chamber 2 in barrel, or 2 1/2 in barrel(for tennis balls) combustion, it uses a battery grill ignotor jacked up with 18 volts, or a tazor. A 3in chamber, 2 or 2 1/2in barrel pneumatic. And a 2in chamber 1/2 in barrel(far double A batteries, apple cores, etc) pneumatic. They are all so much fun. I was able to shoot a tennis ball about 1/2 mile to 3/4 mile away from my house to the high school football field. And I bent a double A battery in half shooting it at a cinder block wall. So much fun. Thanks for the measurement. Take some pictures of your bushings installed. I love seeing the Red bushings on trucks.

Are both the top and bottom bushings 2.5 inches?

all 6 body mounts that came with the kit are the same height, if u were wondering about the separated pieces i took a picture.
