Got the lower a-arms off both frames now , theres no way I could have saved any of the bushings , no matter how hard I tried.They were stuck in there pretty good.I burned most of the rubber out , but have to do some fine cleaning yet to get the rest of the little chunks out.Not a fun job <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

I also put the drop diff brackets on my axle shafts , so they are ready to stick back into the axle once I get the a-arms back on and the axle.It should go a lot better once I get the bushings and get the a-arms back on.

I think I got the brackets figured out for the bumper , but I am not sure how far from the back crossmember the bumper should stick out.I had allready taken the bumper off the 89 a long time ago , and the 90 never had a rear bumper , it rusted off <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> So , I have no real measurements to go by.Can someone with a bumper , take a measure ment from the back crossmember to the bumper for me?I'm not sure how far over the crossmember the body sticks out , and don't want to make the brackets , then find out its too close , and the body won't go back on.
