Default Stock trailing arms with spherical bushings

I saw on the forums a while back where someone took their stock trailing arms and cut the stock bushing mount off and welded on spherical bushing. I can't find the link to save my life. I took my trailing arms off to put in my revshift trailing bushing and the front rubber bushing were shot. If anyone has a link for them, can you please post it. Thank you.

The spherical are for the front mount, the revshift are for the rear knuckle mount.

That is the thread I was looking for! Thank you. I do plan on making them myself. I just couldn't remember where I saw that thread. I was also looking for your twin turbo build thread a few weeks ago too, but I see that has been deleted.

Been a while since I have seen that thread

What is the cooler above the diff? Weren't you the one trying to run an seperate oil system for the turbos and switched back to running it off the engine with a scavenger pump? Also, I plan on copying what you did with the fuel cell. Any idea on the weight savings from that and the stock tank? And what else ya got for pictures of that fuel cell? underneath?

Yeah I did have the turbo oil system all self cantained. It was a good idea amd worked great but it was missing a oil filter which was its down fall.

The cell is a little under half the whight of the stock tank. All the pick I have are on that thread. On thing to keep in mined with the fuel cell is getting the gas gauge to work all the time. I have spent a lot of time making it read right on thr cluster. But even tgen it still throws a codes somtimes and goes yo empty untill I reset the codes
