Has anyone tried installing these brackets on a rust bucket? The pictures included in this thread show much cleaner surfaces than mine. Am I risking anything by trying to install these?
Post a pic or two of your front lower control arms. If the rust is to pint where it's threatening thenm strength of the arms, you might want to consider replacing the arms instead
Thank you. I'll post a picture as soon as possible. Probably tomorrow, after tonight's NFC matchup
Hard to tell from that angle. Have someone with metal working experience, poke at it and see how bad the rust really is. There seems to be some flaking on the outside.
Usually with the rust, it is worst than it appears. Especially since these things tend to rust from inside out.

Hmmm, I'd be worried. I'd honestly consider a good used set or new set of LCA's on hand along with hardware before you start that project. Then again, we see similar trucks here in Utah on occasion and our guys are able to get them apart without the torch.
I’ve got these mounted up and the upper bolts torqued back down to 165. Getting ready to drill the two lower bracket holes. I’m assuming this gap will pull tight between the bracket and the bottom side of the lower control arm? Wondering if I should pound them more flush with a piece of wood and 5-lb hammer. Thoughts from those who have installed these? Thank you.

No need to hammer them. Drill the hole closest to the bend first, bolt it down, then drill the second hole and bolt it down.
That’s what I figured. 1st hole closest to the Tbar should suck up most of the gap. Thanks.
Snugged it right up at 35 lbs-ft. Thanks, all.
