nip the a arm with a plasma cutter or torch ,die grinder, problem solved, check motor mounts if there rubber, one can be bad and its leaning, something is always touching

Stock uppers? If so have you checked into maybe some tubulars? this will give you more clearance and shed some weight off the front end also.

So do i use a right side g-body for the left side of my truck? There alot cheaper than i thought may have to get me some of those in the near future.

yes i run two right sides on mine with no problem. definately worth the money and time.

You will just "flip" one upside down. You will need to get balljoints and put them in (bolt in style) and you will be fine. You will see how they go when you take your stockers out. BTW, you will be cussing to install them with the motor in. I would recommend undoing your motor mount bolt(s) and jacking the motor up. Will be a MAJOR PITA with motor inside unless you do this. You will get the stockers cross shaft caught on the header as you will not have alot of room to remove. Just needs to be raised maybe 1" max

Alright thanks guys i will definatley be considering this in the near future.

[Bacon]

Oh yeah one more ? could i use the balljoints listed below that a-arm on the link you posted?

Go get a set of MOOGS or Power performance ones for a g-body from your favorite autoparts store. May save you some money.

[Bacon]

Alright thanks again.

No problem. I would also recommend checking your brake system over and replacing the brakes if they need it. One of those "while you have it out/there, check/service it"

Yeah i checked them when i was puttin the shocks on and there about due for changing pads and turin rotors.

the ball joints they advertise on the site lead you to beleive your getting the moog ones. Well I found out the hard way they sell el-cheapo ball joints for the price of moogs. go to your local auto parts store and get a set of Moogs you'll be happy you did.

Why are the 2 right sides used as opposed to buying a left and right ?

[Rickracer]

They are built for circle track racing, "always turn left", the longer arm gives a better camber adjustment curve for oval track. :cool4:
