People have said that u have to remove the lower control arm, that's B.S. There is a gap between lower control arm and the frame. Get a long extension with swivel head and u are "f***king golden" !! I did it with some loc tite. Only had to use three bolts per mount to hold in place. I changed my fuel pump to a 1996 c1500 V8 model and it was easier when the bed is removed.
