Getting ready to install these on the '71. I'm sure the higher cost has concerned many people, but after seeing the great quality first hand, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these to anyone. Well done, Hotchkis!

I'll post some install pics soon, waiting on their 2" drop springs to be delivered.

Nice!:metal: I just bought a upper and lower set, did yours come with those shims or did you buy them?

I bought the shims separate just to get things close and then I'll get it to the alignment shop after the truck is put together.

I've got the Uppers mounted, just waiting on '71-'72 Ball Joints. They come with '73-'87 Ball Joints in the Uppers. Lowers fit '71-'87. Currently running ECE 2.5" Drop spindles with drilled/slotted rotors and Wilwood D-52 Calipers. I'll run this for a while and may upgrade to the CPP Mod spindles and bigger brakes when I eventually upgrade to the Hotchkis LCA's. Time will tell....
