    Remove stock arms ,@ the lower remove bushings (use a saws-all to slice the bushing from the inside ,being careful not to cut into the wall),than drive it out,clean well ,this is where the large round bar welds in. There are gussets that weld to it for extra support.
    The uppers should just bolt up to the stock mount. On mine I had to grind a little to get to right.
    E-mail me if you want photo's.

    Yea Cando sends you the lowers with a thick tube that will slide into the lower mounting hole on your frame. I just used that tube to hammer out the bushing. You might try adding some heat.

    Steve does build his arms not grant and he has alot better customer service and better products than really anyone else, plus his are on several trucks with several million miles to prove they're quality... The only other arms I would even consider is michagan metal works...

    grant actually sells cando's arms lol

    and lots of people have had problems previously with dhp parts and service when it was his previous company. i'm not saying he hasn't gotten better, it just keeps people from using him.

    CanDo arms are what I have on my 91 Toyota & I love them, as for installing them there pretty much straight forward to do. When you get a set if you have any issues just post it on here or call Steve-(owner of CanDo) & help you as well.

    yes grant sells them, I think in the jibberish he was implying grant makes them. I don't think dhp compares to cando or mmw at all
