Is there any way that maybe you can post like a picture or something of these parts that i have to buy. I really don't know what half of these parts look like, and i don't know where would i start either. It is a great mod and cheap too and i would really like to make it.

Thanks a lot

Without taking it apart, no. But here's a couple more pix with a closeup view - that should help. In the "engine" joint notice the bottom of the eye bolt at the 4 to 6 o'clock position has been ground flat so it does not rub on the UIM. In the "frame" joint picture, one side of the eye bolt has been ground flat to make it narrower, allowing to clear the ABS off to the right side.

well, Ace hardware is closed today due to the holiday. I went to home depot and lowes and they don't have turnbuckle that big, so i guess i'll have to wait till tomorrow.
Is there any drawbacks of this mod? I mean i don't know what's the real one made of but i thought it's some kind of shock or something. And this one doesn move anywhere once you screw it on.
So won't this maybe cause problems to the motor mounts or something?

Thanks
