not the best shot, but there cracked and on there way out..
So I used a an air hammer on the passenger side, it was a pain in the ass... it took forever, so I always thought when people burned the bushings out they used a torch, 30 seconds in it was obvious to me that would take a while..... so I pulled the bump stop and tossed the lower arm in a fire pit... it worked out great.
I used the bottle jack press for the upper a-arm, very easy.
heres the new bushings and ball joints for the driver side a-arms.
upper arm is all set to go, the harbor freight press is really making the driver side much easier.

Tires on, and like Afghanistan, there old and depleted, so off to the tire shop.
chatted with 88Gmctruck on here, ended up going with the same wheel spacers for the rear. 1.5"
off to my buddies tire shop, hes been in buisness for 42 years, ive been buying tires off him for 18 years. he was happy to see me, I needed 8 tires today, 6 for the Dually and 2 for my white one, and an alignment, rough day for the debit card.
I was Dead set on some 255/85/16's and my buddy was dead set on talking me out of em, I guess its not a popular size so getting a deal on em where we both are happy was not happening, so he talked me into some Hankook 285/75/16's which were very well priced... honestly im glad he did, because I think they look great

Nice! I just grabbed a set of 285/75R16 All Terrain KO-2's.
Do you got a pic of the space in between the tire to leaf spring and bed side? And one of space between the two tires? Thanks! Looks good!

Why are all these 2WD trucks on here looking so awesome!?
Going for add-a-leafs or blocks in the rear? And now it looks like it could pull off tow mirrors with that height and tire combo, again, looks amazing!

Looks good, just get that rear end up in the air!
285/75R16 is the same overall height as 255/85R16 just wider.
Being you are running a wider tire, I'm curious how they fit with the 1.5" spacer? Mostly curious about the space between the duals. Duals touching is a huge no-no.
