Re: My 86 build
It looks like a really good kit, all bolt on, and everthing included...I hate the way my truck steers!...well maybe not "hate", but I just think it could be better......the strong arms are awesome, I can't wait to get 'em on!.....

Re: My 86 build
I was going to paint and install the upper ball joints in the arms, but the balljoints are to different styles, one has a flat top, and the other has a raised dimpled top.....going to go to the auto parts and trade 'em in for two of the same....

I know someone who would say, What difference does it make? No one is going to see both of them at the same time." But we'd know it the whole time.

Make 'em match O' Mooser McKnuckles.
