Just got upper and lower control arms
I bought them off craigslist pretty sure they'll work for my truck i'll post some pics. But i believe they are drop control arms so if i had drop spindles would this be over kill or just fine thanks for checking it out and your input!!

Re: Just got upper and lower control arms
They appear to be upper n lower tublar control arms with bag plates. If they are correct for your truck year it is hard to tell. And yes you will want dropped spindles with that setup. Also front disk brakes while your there. You may possibly need the tie rod adapters if your tie rods are the 67/68 version. Hope your not running short on cash you are embarking on some expensive upgrade. Plus bagging the back plus the airide setup. Good info with lots of knowledge over in the suspension side if your looking on how n where to start.

Re: Just got upper and lower control arms
With my 22's, drop spindle and bags, My long tube headers are 1/4" from hitting the ground when aired out. If those lcas have any drop built into them, you might hit/crush your collectors. Usually, you can lay the lcas on the ground with about 2" or so drop built into them. Only way to tell now is to get it all installed, so hurry up and take some pics so we can all see!!!
