Re: A-arms
CPP , Performance online, Air ride and a few others that you can find pretty cheap. Keep one thing in mind though , you will probably pay for the cheap ones twice and the good ones once. I have read around and find that CPP has poor quality control and customer service. I dont think you can lay the frame with any of these a-arms alone.

Re: A-arms
You won't lay frame with any a-arms alone. On these trucks, the suspension member hits pavement before the frame. You need to do one of the following:
1. Section the crossmember 2. Z the frame 3. Buy Porterbuilt's dropmember in order to lay frame. A quick search on any of the above three and you'll be good to go. Also, you can lay with stock arms, but tubular helps with geometry.

Re: A-arms
Barnyard went out of business a while back because of screwing people over so much and their products breaking.
