I've been around, Doesn't seem like I get to check the forum as much as I use to. Nice to know I'am missed though.

 

When i put my 3" on they did come with lower control arms...im still checking on the upper red arms....

 

Ok, here are the installed pics. As I mentioned over in my "Vibration - possible causes please" thread, this were not as easy to install as they look. Took about 5 hours total. The lower arms are totally easy. The upper arms are a differnet story. It took forever to get the bolt holes to line up. Must be because the Skyjacker upper arm is 1/8" shorter then the stock upper arm. It doesn't help any that the frame side has to be done through a hole on the back side of the frame. Also, the cat is really in the way on the passenger side, it was almost impossible to do. Anyway, here's some pics. I'm taking it down for an alignment tomorrow, but when I took my stock arms off, I scribed the cam nut. Then I used those marks when I reinstalled everything, and it seemed pretty good when I test drove it. Still, and aligment wouldn't hurt, escpecially if you read my vibration thread. Also, I think I had mentioned that I might take off the "Skyjacker" stickers, but I decided to leave them after seeing how they looked installed. Since they are silver and red, and my truck is silver with red suspension components, I thought they didn't look too bad.

yeah !!! congrats on the install the uppers are a PITA but worth it monday night maybe ill post mine ...did you get any more height at all ?

 

I don't think so. That's more controlled by the spring, not the arms. Why, did you?

 

nice silver....

keep me posted on your review on ride quality... i bought a ram, but it rides like an Abrhams... lol...

these arms use the stock cams/bolts for caster?

 

i used the stock cams/bolts for caster ...now i wonder if 34x9.5x 16 tire will fit....

 

Yup, reuses all the stock bolts/cams. Did you buy a new truck shott?

 

Looks good. I would remove the stickers just because of the font, but that's just a personal preference thing I guess. How long would it have taken if the cat wasn't in the way?

 

Maybe 4 hours or so. Getting the upper bolt holes to line up was still the hardest and most time consumming part. If the uppers would go as easily as the lowers, it would be a 1-2 hr job.
