Default long ARM question

Ok I know when u do a long arm kit you have to chop off your old mounting brackets for the short arms but my question is do u have to wield the new long arm mounts or do the bolt on ?

Most of them have in the description how it attaches but you could call the place where you were going to order from to make sure

Honestly A combination of the both. Claytons long arm kit is a GREAT kit, also FrankZ (a forum vendor) has a great kit. Just find what you want and set a price on what you want to pay,
