made a HUGE mistake.

did a drop kit last year on my high mile tahoe and did NOT put in all new front end parts.

so, now, i taking ALL the same parts off ...AGAIN... to put new BJ's on.

the kit came with new upper A arms, and just ball joints for the lower,

are they press in, or what?

or do I need a whole new lower arm?

djm make a replacement upper/lower a arm for 07 up trucks and a replacement lower a arm for 00-06 and what kit did you use to lower it?

something doesnt sound right and will prob eat up another set of balljoints. How low is your truck?

Ive changed them many times but been seeing the rubber bushings worn out so easier to replace it with a new arm.

looks like its lowered with belltech drop struts in front and stock uppers are there


edit just read again what you wrote down totally saw it wrong the first time.
