yessir... With some mods can't use the center braketry but bolts and washers or pipe will do the trick also there's a bunch of threads on this

No problem I edited my post but your gonna have to do some easy mods to the arms but just start wrenching and I'm sure you'll be fine!

Doesn't the 95 still have the vertical bolt design? Thought the horizontal bolts with the brackets didn't start til 96?
If it has the vertical bolt design they should bolt right on.
If it's the horizontal bolt design, you have to remove the cross shaft from the A arms and bolt it to the frame brackets through the now empty bushing holes. I suggest making some bushings.

Then you'll have to remove the cross bar in the A arms like mentioned above.
I just wanted to clarify before you removed the cross bar and then they were unusable.

No problem. Just wanted to make sure you didn't ruin the A arms. Crap is too expensive to be wasting parts these days.

Trust me as a person looking for 80s arms in the parts section I wouldn't steer anyone on the wrong direction lol I almost feel like where I come from I'm about obsessed with them because I can't find them anywhere or anyone to sell and ship them

There are plenty here at the local pick n pull. But by the time I pay for them and ship them, there's no money to pay me for my time.
