you will not have to pull dash but you will have to tub firw wall. 3/4 ton arms will not help just modify yours. we had to reangle the lowwer BJ. and the upper also. plus raise the upper arms 2", trim lowwer arms. and trim frame till it lays its AOLT of work to get them up there

Just curious!!!!!!!!!

How much would something like this cost?
Not including bags etc just labor and material for this to get done!

im doing all the work my self but my budget is 5500 thats for parts and wheels wheels are like 3000 so that leaves 2500 for parts i think i could get all the parts for less than 2500

like was said it is possible but you really need to be good at welding and have a decent idea of suspension concepts to really get it to work.

I cut down the arms on my truck and changed the position of the upper and lower balljoints so they wouldn't bind. It was a lot of work and in the end it probably would have made more sense to get some used arms. There are usually people selling them for about 400 or so which is totally worth it for the amount of time that you are going to spend trying to get the stock ones to work properly. They are also built so that the camber is correct when riding low. Even my modified arms still aren't really all that great on camber when the truck is low and driving.

I think there might be some pictures somewhere of my arms getting pied and relocating the balljoint. Search under my name for arms I think.

ekstensive here in houston said they can make me some lower arms for like 550 he said it would lay out on the 24s with dropped spindles but im going to try it out with all stock stuff first the control arm is my last resort but i think i could do it with all stock stuff
