Yeah, I am aware of the hockey puck way, but I wouldnt use em nor really
feel 100% good about using them. Do you have an auto tranny Dave, cause I am
just curious about the tranny linkage adapter which comes with the 3" TM
Body lift kit and whether or not I will need one for a 2" body lift. Did you
have to trim the radiator shroud at ALL? The 3" TM body lift kit manual says
to cut off the lower half of this shroud and reinstall it. It just seems
that with a 2" body lift kit, that less has to me messed with a modified. If
I do go with a mild 1" body lift kit, I think I would just have a machine
shop fab up some solid round aluminum 'pucks'. But then again, for a mere
$70 through JC Whitney I could have a PA 2" body lift kit. Just odd that the
3" and 2" body lifts are the same price. Hmmmmm, decisions decisions,
