Re: Modified A-arms (what ya think)
Thanks for the help fellas....I've looked up drop spindles the price isn't really that bad which brand do u guy recommend i thought they where around 300 a side looks like they come in twos if I'm reading correct I looked on performance online. Drop spindles an springs can get the front as low as possible for a static drop truck right.... I'm wanting my wheels to tuck under nice what should I do

http://www.performanceonline.com/71-...e-2-half-inch/ Keep in mind, to use drop spindles (whether 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton) you MUST convert to disc brakes. If you are trying to keep your drum brakes, there are no drop spindles made. The only way to drop a drum brake truck is with springs and/or dropped A arms. If you replace your lower arms, make sure you get 3/4 ton arms as the ball joint is bigger then 1/2 ton ones. If you want to convert over to 5 or 6 lug disc brakes with dropped spindles, you need to buy 1/2 ton lower arms OR use Early Classic Enterprise 3/4 to 1/2 ton conversion spindles.
