Just a tip from having done uppers and lowers on my roommates truck last night.
4x4 and 2x4 do NOT use the same control arms. the 4x4 is about 1.5" shorter in span than the 2x4 arms. good thing theres an autozone only 25 minutes away >:O
we didnt even need a press. 2" ID pipe about 3 inches long and a jack got the lowers back in nicely. just get some pressure on it from beneath, and smack the lower control arm with your trusty BFH.
This job went a lot faster than we had planned (minus the wrong parts)
