    Yea, I'm pulling the trigger on these this week so I will definitely ask what is the correct way.

    In the instructions shown above, I also count 4 washers and the short vid shows the OEM washers being reused.

    Poly bushings or Heim joints don't matter if you torque jacked up or on ground, rubber bushings must be torqued on the ground.

    Mine came with 4 thick and 4 thin washers. Used the thicker ones on the outside and the thinner ones on the inside. It was hard to get on there but I forced it on and hammered it into place. I watched that longer video you posted and they had trouble with the inner washer too.

    Don't flap disk. Get the washers in without permanently modifying your truck. Use a large pry bar to get the washer in

    I got both sides started then slowly tapped it in place with a hammer. You can see if that works.

    I had to go to some pretty rediculous measures to get my UCA to spread and get those washers in. But they fit fine and articulated great after with no issues.

    I used a big bar. A real big bar

    The key is to talk dirty to it when prying.
