More lube was applied to the inside face of the cups. Skip this step and the bushings might squeak. | 
The arm was slipped back in the cups and tightened up. |

Now for the uppers: Before you take out the bolts, mark the washers. This will keep the alignment close enough to get you to the alignment shop when you are done. | 
The inserts must be reused on the upper arms, so be careful when taking them out. Billy used a vise to remove the outer insert because it was pretty shallow. |

The inner insert was removed with the same procedure of the lower control arm--lots of lube and the press. | 
Here are all the inserts you need to save. Clean them up, and give them a good coating of lube. |

The rubber also comes out just like the lower ones did. | 
The bushing slides in from the outside of the arm, and the long bushing goes in from the inside. |

The press was used to push everything in the arm nice and tight. | 
Once Billy installed the new ball joint boot, the arm was put back in the truck and tightened up, making sure he lined up his marks on the alignment washers. |

Make sure to buy new cotter pins for the ball joints and the tie rods. | 
We also replaced the rubber bushings in the DJM shocks with the ones in the kit. |

Moving to the rear, the leaf springs need to be removed from the truck to change out their bushings. Unbolt the shocks, shackles, and the lower U-bolt plate from the rearend. | 
And take the spring over to the bench. |

The factory bushings feature a metal shell that has to come out with the rubber portion. | 
A hammer and chisel or an air hammer can be used to bend the outer ring of the shell before you try to push it out. |

Once the eye of the spring is empty, you can push in the new bushings by hand. Remember the lube. | 
Billy used a big pair of channel lock pliers to press in the provided steel insert, because he didn't want to hold the heavy-ass springs while he used the bench press. With that, he reinstalled the springs and did one last check to make sure everything was tight. On the drive to the alignment shop, the truck was noticeably tighter and we can tell this was a necessary upgrade for what we plan to do with the truck. |
