This may sound like a dumb question....but do those relocation brackets have any weld on them?
Those are some SSM bars that someone done some custom fab work on. They cut them, plated the end, added a nut and a threaded rod end on them, probably when the bushings wore out on them

This is what I get for buying someone else's project

I won't even comment on having a 94/95 spindle on the drivers side and a 96/97 spindle on the passenger side.

Always cleaning up after somebody...

I'll try the radials on it as is... And see how it responds then change the lowers and get rid of the relocation brackets. Be a good teat.

Actually the bracket bolts to the lower shock mount and also has the bolt going through the housing

The tq arm was independent of this as it was bolted to the axle
