not sure on the 64.
Here's a link to djm install instructions, It's pretty easy, at least on my 86 it was.

Some flip kits use them to set pinion angle with the new parts. If your kit doesn't you can leave them or cut them off.

i dont think this kit does use them.kit is a lose term since it came off a truck that was switching to bags.guess i'll have to just do it and see what happens.
