I've got one of their A/C delete plates doing that right now. It's almost too pretty to install.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

I managed to get another 1" of drop in the front with the PB arms. Not because of the arms. I probably could get another .5" before any rubbing issue on fender lip. So as of now I am 7.5/8 drop. Really like the look. And the PB arms are top dawg.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

Let me see if I can make that sound better. The PB arms didn't give me the extra inch of drop. They gave me ability to drop it another 1". The arms being pulled in a inch resolved the issue with my wheels kissing the fender lips. So with that resolved I dropped it another inch. And all still is good. Didn't like how I made it sounds in the post above.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

And another thing I would like to add is Nate and Cousin Dave are Johnny on the spot with responses in emails. I really appreciate that as a customer. Plus they know what the hell they are talking about. I have called other suppliers/manufactures about stuff for our truck and most have no idea. Makes it nice to have someone in the trenches with us like PB. Lol off my soapbox.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

So with the 1" narrow control arms I had to cut 1" off of the outer tie rod end. Well the sleeves are bottoming out. So I had to order some new shorter ones. Found some really nice QA1 sleeves.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"

I got to take it out yesterday for a little cruise in. Took it up the parkway drives great! Handles better and turns better turns deeper. But I am so low I did scrape my new long tube headers. So the headers have to go. Which sucks cause they only have about 500 miles on them. I drove it pretty hard making sure everything was good. Everything is seated and nothing fell off so I must have put everything on right lol. I only put about 30 miles on the new setup. But this is the best setup I have had. Minus the headers rubbing the ground on dip. Very pleased and happy with PB arms.
