Two issues I have seen, although some vendors will tell you their product is not affected by half height body bushings (and they could be correct):

1 - Trans tunnel/crossmemeber issue. Using lower height body bushings makes the body sit closer with less space between the frame. You may or may not have this problem, but a larger trans like a t56 may hit the trans tunnel. Ask Todd and Tyler about this one.
2 - Possible inner fender clearance w 275+ tires. Lower body = closer tolerances when suspension compresses.

There's prob more, but that's all I've seen documented. I wanted half height bushings, but a couple of gurus talked me out of it...

Nailed it! Ben there done that! Atleast as far as the T56 goes...I had to raise the trans tunnel .75"

I'm stickin with the WD subframe.

Undecided on the body mount bushing but thank you everyone for the input. I was actually thinking about the body drop aluminum ones before all this, not anymore though haha.
