I need new a-arm's for my '87 before i bag it. Are a-arm's interchangeable through '73 - '87, and where would be the best place to buy a new pair, keep in mind i am in Canada! I was planning on having my bag system professionally installed, but is it fairly easy to do yourself?, i do have have access to a shop etc. etc. Do front bag's just bolt in, or do you need to modify anything first? When you buy bag's do they come with all the nessesary hardware, or do u gotta buy it separately? Any and all info would be cool as i have never done this before! Thanks, Dean

Yes, the control arms are the same from 73-87' on 1/2-ton trucks. I would go to a junk yard and buy a pair. Paint them and install new bushings---Your set.

If you want a bolt-on kit for the front, go with ART's Cool-Ride kit. It includes EVERYTHING you will need and is very simple to install. Plus, ART is the Mercedes Benz of air suspension.

I happen to have a set of lower and upper arms that have been blasted and powder coated black. They do no have bushing in yet but I can include all new parts Ball joints Etc Etc if the price is right. I also have a new set of powdered frontbrackets that I will not be using.
