Dustin, gonna make a rear bumper soon it will be 2x4 should I use 1/4 or 3/16 ? The bumper will have shackle mounts on the bottom of it. And the frame tie ins....what's your opinion ? Hopefully you'll answer this by 5:10 am. Lol

I use 3/16'' on all my bumpers. Just make sure your shackle mounts are inline with your bumper mounts.

What is the easiest way to remove a pitman arm from a gearbox that has already been removed from the truck? The monkeys at aragon sold me a box with the arm still attached. Oh and to make this even more fun, without an impact? haha time to go break stuff.

Go to auto parts store and rent a pitman arm puller. It grabs the arm and drives it out of the spline as u tighten the bolt.
