The upper arms are compatible from 63-87 (bolt right on). If wanting to use OE lowers they need to be 73-87 1/2 ton arms. I will post some pics up of how to install the lowers (hopefully this afternoon...).

Daniel (texastrendz) your DM is kind of a hybrid!

It got caught between versions. Old school plate, and new school lower control arm mounting system. Your lowers will go together just like the Strong Arms pictured in the instructions.

When bolting up the factory control arms to my DM, am I using the shims that I took off when unbolting the factory crossmember? Sounds like a dumb question, and I'm thinking I would keep those shims there... just not 100% sure.??
