Richard, I got my 2 inch Western Chassis A-arms for $349.95 and
C-section kit $89.95 from Sport Truck Direct.
800-876-6226 <www.sporttruckdirect.com>
If you order from them they are not to bright, they first sent me 2 Passenger side A-arms first I had to wait another week for the drivers side and had to put my truck back together after I took it a part the first time I was pissed. Make sure you tell them to double check before sending parts if you do order from them. I had it out with the Sales Rep Steve at Sport Truck Direct. The front Sway bar links did not line up so I had to do a mod to the sway bar links.
My good friend has a plasma cutter so he cut both sides of my frame with the cutter. The instruction say to use a Salsaw (misspelled) I think if I did use that saw the cuts would not have been so straight and it would take forever to cut both sides of my rear frame. You will need a good strong drill with good bits because the frame is not easy to drill 12 or more holes on each side to bolt the C-section plates on. He did not charge me for the plasma cutting. I am so happy I did the C-section I hated all the bottoming out my truck was going thru wiht the Bell Tech 4 inch drop in the rear. I love the kits I purchased and the way my Lightning looks I get so many compliments and Double takes when ever I drive it. Lower is Better!!! Oh yeah if you add the A-arms make sure you get another Front Wheel Alignment you'll need too. Hope this is some help. I hope you are healing and feeling better! djy

Thumbs up

Doggone, David, that truck just keeps getting better and better looking. When you gonna install the 3.73s? Glad you showed the front view so I can see how you mounted your license plate. Is it on a bracket? Guess I am going to have to do the same with mine, if i can find the damned thing. I will have to check it out next time I visit Robin, probably in May. Got my JDM bars and Nitto 555Rs on, and truck seems to launch a lot better, but been too rainly to do much testing. Now anxious for Irwindale to reopen in Feb. You gonna visit Derek any time soon? If you come at the right time we can hit the track and I can give him a better ride.

A unibit makes light work on the hole drilling and believe it or not the frame is pretty soft stuff and will cut fairly well with a Sawzall.
