    Should be able to cut off the original bushing tubes then weld in the threaded bungs on the same arms but only have a good fabricator handle that. No half assing suspension lol. It might be cheaper just to get new uppers though.

    Like DTF said, it can be done but it is not simply as easy as cutting the bushing off and sleaving it. It would have to be offset and plated back over properly...

    Bushing arm has a different bend in them than the heimed upper does...


    Honestly there is not reason for it unless your stock mounts are bent. A properly gusseted LCA mount should be fine. Align the truck and tach the cam.

    They UCA tubes appeared to run perpendicular but I could be mistaken.
    Yes plating is a must

    Cool so it makes sense to just buy new arms then.

    My cams are almost maxing out, pretty sure it's a bent frame so I just need more adjustment to get my alignment correct. Thanks dudes

    So you are just going to bypass the bent frame, get new upper arms and continue to bend the frame? Seems legit.
