    Just want to make shure im reinstalling new control arms correctly.

    That kinda looks like one of the ideas we had. We were thinking abt taking the old control arm shaft and using it as a giant shim after we welded the bolts. But if getting the studs would eliminate us having to do that.

    Just want to make shure im reinstalling new control arms correctly.

    I don't think there I'd many. There is one called project rocky that I've mentioned in a few threads. However they did their lift with some HD springs(whatever that means) and obs balljoints and spindles. Most of my lift is coming from some 4.5" lift spindles that are made now. Along with a...

    Just want to make shure im reinstalling new control arms correctly.

    Well I tested the upper and lower w/ new spindle and it fits thankfully But here is a new issue. We have to swap out the bolts for the upper on the passanger side here since last person screwed it up. How do I get the bold back in? I get it put since I got to grind the weld off. But the space...

    Ah. I didn't try too hard to move it since the last time I worked on the truck I was sick. How can you tell they are for a c20 not c10? They were orderd for c10 and are almost identical to the originals.

    Just want to make shure im reinstalling new control arms correctly.

    I had a few questions abt my control arms. The last ones were screwed up and someone had welded bolts as shims to the frame for the passenger upper. My new control arms don't have the bolts and rubber on the ends like the original? I also can't turn the rod that attaches the control arms to...
