Western Chassis A-Arms Installed
Got the A-Arms installed yesterday by a shop, front dropped alittle over 1 1/2".
The ride and stance is great. My truck used to have sloppy steering before the install, now it's tight and responsive thanks to the urethane bushings. The truck is raked nicely with a 1.5/2 drop. Install was expensive, I payed around $300. The new Doetsch shocks are also much better than my stock shocks. The front seems to bounce alot less after hitting bumps in the road. Ride is still smooth like stock, but that extra bounce is gone. Highly recommended, but also real expensive (around $620 for product and install). It's really for the guys that want to get lowered but keep ride quality. if I wanted to I could drop the front 4" with these arms!
Gonna install Western Chassis hangers soon and get new endlinks for the rear swaybar for the additional 1" drop for now. Eventually the front will get a 1" drop springs installed.
Let the Tire Wear begin!

Anyone now what size endlink I need for the rear sway when I get the
Western Chassis Hangers installed.
Gonna get them from Autozone, (Addco Endlinks)
The back will be dropped 3", 2" with the hanger and 1" with a drop shackle.
One other question, when I get the new endlinks will they handle both a
3" of 4" drop.
My understanding is a 2" drop is the max for the stock rear endlinks.
Thanks
