I don't believe they make adjustable fronts. Look on Summit Racing for Energy Suspension endlinks. You'll find all sizes there.

Hello,
You really want to measure your ride height before and after the lowering kit installation on all 4 wheels.
The difference in height change will dictate how much shorter the fronts and rears need to go.
You really don't need to have the fronts adjustable (though it's nice if you change out springs often) but if it's what you really want, then you will have to make them out of solid steel bar stock with a threaded insert and jam nut. Similar in theory to how the Heim Joint works. . .this is how the rears are set-up adjustable only they use threaded rod ends with jam nuts. Setting up your endlinks like this with no bushings will also transmit a bit more road vibration into the truck, but your swaybars will react faster. Personally I prefer to have them with high durometer urethane for road driving, and solid for the track.
Please feel free to e-mail me if you need any further info regarding how to do adjustable fronts or rears at: WrongdayJ@aol.com
Hope this info helps.
