Message:
I removed my rear bumper on my 2004 quad cab to do the body lift. When I went to put on the relocation brackets I found that I could not attach the part that looks like a tube mounted on rubber bushings. I'm sure I'm not describing it well but you all must know what I mean. WHAT IS IT? WHAT'S IT DO? DO I NEED IT?
Thanks

Sorry, but not that. This is a 1.5 inch bar that runs parallel to the rear bumper and attaches to the bumper brackets on the ends.

It's a vibration damper. Needed in order to make up for the inadequacies of Daimler's engineers.

It's great that the engineers saw the need for it. Sounds like the were doing their job. I had a Ford Explorer that I wish would have had something to kill vibration!

Hi Roaddog;
Did you ever re-mount the rear bumper vibration dampener? I am considering a 3" BL for my 2003 QC 4X4 and am finding all your info quite helpfull.

Thx,
Graham

I never remounted it. I guess I could. it would take drilling 2 holes in the kits brackets and bolting it on. I didn't see the need.
Any other questions just ask. I'm trying to figure out how to get better flow from my Airaid filter kit now.
