I just did adjustable lower and upper control arms. Lowers took 30 minutes, pretty easy. The top ones went off easy but I had a hell of a time pulling the axle towards the back of the vehicle. I used a ratchet strap and connected it to the rear axle, well either way finally got it. Frame side bolts are fine but when i went to do the axle side bolts they seemed a little short for my liking. I torqued them down to 55 ft lbs. Think I should get longer bolts or will these be okay?
NO, I replaced mine with normal bolts & washer bolts, and a serrated flange head nut. I went with M10 x 1.5 x 90m if I remember correctly .
I did get the correct size for the bushing (stock were a smaller diameter than the hole in the bushing) and I got them long enough to have at least 3-4 threads protruding.

Okay great. I ordered a pair or 85mm and 90mm from fastenal. See which one fits better. Thanks
I have a local 'fastener' shop that is awesome....so I just take what I have down there and he comes out of the back with what I need/want. They even carry rivet nuts and a have a very nice selection of drill bits.
There is a fastenal lots closer, but they don't have what I need 90% of the time
