I agree and am interested in the help I just liked the tubular A arms and if I was gonna have to convert to a C10 front end I thought maybe worth just buying the kit and converting that way but am open to other thoughts I do like the springs the have and wondered about just popping them in for time being up front and I saw another guy on here who made some lowering blocks for the back that were trick I do like the rear control arm relocators Hotchkis has for correction pinion angle.

Re: New here too

The lowering springs, tubular control arms, dropped spindles and such are all available from less expensive sources. You can also install a 1-1/4" front sway bar from a '73-'87 C20 truck for increased handling. Those can be found in wrecking yards for fairly cheap. And as for those adjustable front trailing arm brackets, I believe a couple members here were doing that before Hotchkis offered them. look here....
