Best type of plastic stock to use for body lift bushings

Where can you find that enough hockey pucks to do that at 1 store? I'd think even a Canadian Walmart would be pushin it.....

Not walmart. They sell made-in-china pucks...

Canadian Tire all the way! They sell nice ones made in Scandinavia for $1.29. And yes, they totally stock more than enough pucks to use 40 on a lift.

Canadian Tire freakin' rules.

That UHMW stuff is unbelievably tough. We did a test in a high pressure blow-down pot and compared it to a piece of 410 stainless. The UHMW showed half the wear.

for a 1 in lift, i wouldnt think twice about the scananavian pucks.

i have broken every pa type "real" block, some several times over my main rigs life. many 4x4 shops sell them in singles on occasion and i pick a few up here and there to have around. though these days i would just make metal ones.

Thanks man We use it for all kinds of stuff from the runners on dogs sleds and snowmachine sleds to armor on the bottom of our jet-boats, the list goes on and on.
