did you mean the holes where they bolt to the frame or how wide the a arm is where the bushings go in.

Are they shiney?
Just for fun I checked my flat black arms and they are at 5".
Some of the problems I had were rusted bolts. I had to cut off one of the bolts to the frame on the upper drivers side. I had to cut off a shock bolt on a lower arm and thw sway bar link mount on the drivers side lower arm broke off. Im searching for one of those.
Have fun. ;)
