[QUOTE="Walt Jaquith, post: 425278, member: 18654"] That's the option I'm leaning towards. I've done something similar on a crawler I built, and it worked well. This rig will spend most of its life on the road, so the urethane bushings you get in kits like that would be too hard. With a pair of bushings so far from the transmission, which will be trying to rock back and forth, I'd want something pretty soft. One alternative would be to get some leaf spring or suspension link bushings from a sedan and press them into a tube. [/QUOTE]
