Pics of pie'd or notched upper control arms
 
I've got a 66 c10 on a budget and I'm trying to get as low as possible in the front without going with a drop member or tubular c arms. I just got a set of McGaugys 2.5" drop spindles and I've already cupped my lower control arms, but when I lay it out, my upper control arm ball joint binds and stops me from going down another inch or more.

Can I see some pics of how and where you guys are cutting your upper control arms so that I can correct the upper ball joint angle.

Does anyone have any better ideas of how I can get another inch or so lower without cutting the upper control arms? I'd still like to see some pics of how other guys have done it too.

Lower the cab mounts an inch.
