Overall Shot:

Got some Knockoff High Impact arms. Wish I had 2 sets of single shock arms but, oh well. I do have an extra pair of double shock arms though.

Also got some GPM upper arms for $10 a pair shipped. Couldnt pass that up so I opted for them instead of some Wide Trac or FLM upper arms.

I drilled the Hinge pin holes out on the UE knockoff arms to 5/32" or 3.96mm. and used some 5/32" hardened drill rod cut to size for hinge pins. cut a small slot on the pins and secured them with set screws. no more E-clips The GPM arms have a slghtly larger hinge pin hole already and used a small plastic bushing to ride on the actual pin. I ditched the plastic bushing and made an aluminum sleeve the takes up any slack between the Arm and the Hinge pin. I BETTER NOT BEND THESE PINS!
