Stock trailing arms

Any one ever take apart the old trailing arms to remove rust and then bolt them back together? I am thinking about doing this and then putting 1/8 plates all over the top and bottom of my stock arms. Just trying to beat the rust.

Thank you, guess I should have searched first, but I usually don't have the best of luck finding what I'm searching for. Thanks again

Re: Stock trailing arms

I didn't take them all the way apart, but I probably should have. Mine are 3/4 ton arms and I replaced the top and bottom plates.
