Hey yall, This weekend i started putting a body lift on my truck ('01 f150 supercab 4x4 ect) to fit 40s on it and all went well except my core support

them and heated them using mapp because the oxyact torch was empty, but no luck. Broke out the big ********* impact and boom, snapped both heads off. I sawzalled the bolts but in the process cut the sleeve off the cap the mounts on top. Its hard to explain without pics but the metal cap on top has a sleeve that runs through the hole mount to the bottom, more than likely to keep it centered. I dont want to have to buy new mounts A. Because theyre not cheap and B. Because i cant find them anywhere. Any ideas? Run the mounts w/o the sleeves? Hockey pucks? The rubber is still good just had to butcher the inside. Im sure someones gone through this before. Thanks in advance guys

EDIT: posted this in the 'other body' forum a couple days ago w/ no replies, figured this would pertain to suspension being its a lift. Mods please move to the appropriate section if neccesary.

 

Hockey pucks is a pretty bad idea as well as running them sleeveless. Last thing you want is the front end of the body to start sliding around while your going down the road. I'd start looking to replace them.

 

I was afraid to here that. I was thinking sleeveless as temporary just to get it out of the shop and back home. Unfortunately I cant find anyone that will sell just one bushing. they are in kits on Jeff's Bronco Graveyard but they run $150....oh well.

 

If you still have a piece of the sleeve try a plumbing store for a piece of pipe.
