Re: Lowering a GMC ?

I'm assuming your GMC is a leaf-spring unit. If so, the arms will bolt right up to your x-member, with the minor exception that you'll need to remove the arm mounts from the chevy cross-member and bolt them onto the GMC (make sure to use grade 8 bolts). You'll also need to to swap over the upper spring mounts and panhard bar frame mount.
I'm in the middle of doing this as well and can say that it's not terribly complicated just some work bustin' out a bunch of rivets.
