On a mild drop, you can use a shorter bushing clamp stand that's available from our Vendors, or bolt the bushing clamps directly to the frame. On my current build "Scarlett" with used bar and new bushings I have less than $50.00 in the entire swap.
I understand. As I stated in my original post, I'm not going to source one from a yard. There are none easily accessible near me, and I don't have the time to drive out to one just to save a couple bucks. I appreciate the suggestions though. I would love to mount directly to the frame, so I'll have to see what clearance I have. Thanks again!
