Stock lower arms are fine. Cups are needed (dissenting opinions in 3... 2... ). Only mod required will be to remove the steel bump/steering stop bracket.

That depends on what spindle you are going to run. If you go with a 3" spindle and 15" wheels you will have to mod the stock A-arms. They will need to be trimmed or they will rub the rim at full lock.... :cool:

Here's my 82 Blazer before I changed to a Scott's IFS...
