What are my options for adding 2dof motion to my existing 80/20 rig?

[BluePotato00]

What I have:
I have an 80/20 based rig that is super rigid and perfect for my needs.

What I want:
I'd really like to add simple 2 degrees of freedom (dof) motion to my existing rig. What I'm envisioning is a rising/falling piston system at each of the 4 corners of my existing rig so I will pitch forwards/backwards and tilt left/right. Although maybe there is a better approach. I'd like to feel both the pitch of the car and the track surfaces through the motion of the rig.

How much movement?
I don't want/need too much movement. I like the amount of motion that Barry at Sim Racing Garage has whenever I watch his videos (e.g. 33 minutes into this video

), which is assume is below the maximum motion range of many products. I don't want an amount of motion that would require a 5-point harness in my rig seat.

Budget:
Under $1,000 USD

(My question to the community) What are my options for making that happen?
I'd prefer not to go deep into the DIY route with 3D printed parts, purchasing individual electric components, soldering, etc. I know there is this product, but I don't want to replace my whole 80/20 rig.

Thank you kindly for your help!

Here is one of the cheaper alternatives to D-BOX where you can mount your own rig.

You could also try this one from Sim Department. I tried it at the SimRacing Expo this year and it was very convincing. Rather cheap (still a lot of money) and good quality if you have your own 80/20 rig. Only a little more expensive than the Prosimu T1000, but still you do you have to have your own rig.

Unfortunately I am not aware of any non-DIY motion option within this price range.

Sim Racing Garage's D-Box is not a low cost motion platform. I have listed the Australian price range below.

Additionally SRG has purchased a 1.5" actuator platform at the lower end of D-Box's price scale. If you had the budget I would recommend the 3" actuators for sim racing instead.

For under USD 1,000 I would recommend SimVibe and Tactile Transducers as a cost effective option, and this forum is a gold mine for info on this topic.

Good luck.

D-Box Recommended Retail Prices (Australia)

Two Actuators
-------------
D-Box 2250i 1.5" actuators = AUD 11,800
D-Box 2250i 3.0" actuators = AUD 19,800
D-Box 2500HD 6.0" actuators = AUD 27,000

Three Actuators
---------------
D-Box 3250i 1.5" actuators = AUD 16,300
D-Box 3250i 3.0" actuators = AUD 31,200
D-Box 3500HD 6.0" actuators = AUD 42,000

Four Actuators
---------------
D-Box 4250i 1.5" actuators = AUD 22,200 (SRG uses the more expensive 4400i model)
D-Box 4250i 3.0" actuators = AUD 37,840
D-Box 4500HD 6.0" actuators = AUD 52,000

Model number designate:
-----------------------
3xxx = 3 actuators
x250i = 250lbs of weight supported per actuator

For example 4250i = 4 actuators that can support a total of 1000lbs or 453kg.

BluePotato00,

Under 1000$ for full frame "dbox" style Heave Motion, NOT gonna happen. HEAVY Diy, Could possibly be done, but you dont want that so.......

I would find someone local or willing to build for you, And Bribe them to build the units for you, Where are you located btw ?

I'm in Arizona and it would be awesome to collaborate with an experienced person on this.
