Quote: Kevin on breaking the arm loose from the knuckle I couldn't on mine either, I took out the two bolts that hold the lower part of the knuckle to the upper part, if my memory is right it takes a 15/16" socket and wrench to get these loose, this is the part that the lower ball joint goes through and just bought them that way. Then when I got them home I was able to seperate the ball joint from that lower part of the knuckle. As far as I know on your question about 1/2 ton vans. I'm pretty sure as long as they have the spring pocket in the arm they are the same. Hope this helps you. See ya at the Music City show.
You were right. They were 15/16". It was so easy knowing that. The hardest part was getting that nut off the top of the shock. Now, I gotta clean them up and paint them. I can't decide if I will lower the rear with the flipped hangers/longer shackles or flip the axle on top of the leafs. I will probably lower the front and see what I have there and decide then.
