You can buy Just the Mounts...Or better yet Just buy the whole Pimp Cane. The end results are always better. Many have tried to copy it, but very few have done a good job.

A little bit of ingenuity goes a long way.

I just ground the sides of a 1/2 inch bolt down so it would fit inside the channel and then put that bolt through the hole where the original steeing was and put a nut on the bottom.

Unless you run links also. Just that isn't enough.

Thats not enough. The axles will still rotate around once attached to the chassis.
