Re: Lower A-arm ???
 
I couldn't get a pic of it aired out on teh ground, because my brothers air compressor didn't have the umph to get my truck up very high :(

But here it is on the trailer

It may go a little lower, but it's sitting on the swivel for the winches hook
And it's just about to hit the headers & bind the upper ball-joint

Here are some more pics of it at ride & dump... No notch in the rear & no drop spindles
