Re: djm lower control arm shock mounting
Do you have any pics?
Does it have a bolt or a shock stud?

Re: djm lower control arm shock mounting

Re: djm lower control arm shock mounting
Old thread, I know. I'm running into this issue now too. It was my stopping point for yesterday.

Re: djm lower control arm shock mounting
I had the same problem when I installed my djm arms. I just took out the metal insert on the shock and it fit. I also had to buy different size of spacers.
It was kinda frustrating, but I did this on a Sunday and needed the truck for Monday so I didn't call jdm to ask about it.

Re: djm lower control arm shock mounting
I drilled mine out, forgot what size bit I used. After a while the bushing and rubber got hot and then bushing came out.
