Re: Rear control arm assembly question
FYI the cross braces are different between coil and leaf.
Coil spring frames have the cross brace just above the rearend, with the shock attach brackets on it. Plus it has the bottom out snubber brackets you'll need as well.
And leaf trucks have cross braces on the frame in front of and in rear of the rear end. And the shock mounts are attached directly to the frame.
So you'll have to do a lot of rivet removal to get them removed. And my suggestion is that you bolt everything back on with grade 5 hardware. I suggest that you don't weld everything back in. That will make the frame to rigid and may cause some problems later on.
