This is what I put on my 2000 Club cab and will work.

Here is the video I made for the installation of the uppers.

Please note on the video. These were installed after the Rancho lift was put on so things may look different. Also I did not show DJ drilling the holes to 3/8" on the new BJ's. The rivets that are removed are 3/8's and the BJ's hole are 5/16 so they need to be enlarge before you install them and you will also have to pick up some 3/8" grade 8 bolts washers and nuts. It took DJ less than 2 hours to do this.

We only did the uppers and 2 hours for both sides.

I cut time out so it would not be so long to download. But it covers pretty much everything except the enlarging of the MOOG mounting holes to 3/8" from 5/16.

Have not had to touch the lowers yet.

Glad you liked the video and maybe got something from it!
