yes the upper and lower retainers i know there expensive thats why i am trying to avoid having to buy them and use a sleeve like the james duff kit shows but do i even need to use such thing? im using prothane poly mounts? can i just get grade 8 bolts and washers an be fine? because the prothanes have some type of metal sleeve molded in but the retainers will still fit inside of the bushings so should i try to find sleeves to fill that gap or see if i can use a larger diameter bolt trying to figure out my option here pretty much trying to go the cheapest route and oem retainers aren't obviously haha

Hi yes you can build bolts.... these are mine that a good friend built and he uses the same set up on all his builds.

cheers

However, better have a good person that knows how to weld to make sure you get a secure fitment.

Not sure, I will ask him if he is willing and interested in doing this for you. These ones are made for the "energy" body spacers, with stock height no lift kit.

No idea if you guys are still wanting/or are interested in these. What he will need is the inside diameter of the holes to be 100% fitted for your body mounts. so if you know what mounts you are going to be using and / or have them already let me know in PM make and the fronts some are smaller than the body sets. He doesn't want to make the wrong sizes.

No one has inquired so I am guessing this is a dead issue.

Kinda sad too. I guess it couldn't be that urgent if you never heard back. At least you tried to be helpful and that's what counts. Maybe they went a different route.
