Nice find. Color looks good too. Inner bearing should be 15x10mm and outer is 12x6mm.

Okay I searched quick couldn't really find what I was looking for. I've done most common things to the truck 4 link skids shocks lift etc. I've had 4x4 trucks since I've been driving. Mostly ford's alot of which were ttb trucks . Has an one cut the arms and changed them or made there own ? I've made shock hoops that would allow for 90mm front shocks. I'm thinking about making arms stock length but are turned down. Would help travel and height .
