PM sent. they should be in transit right now. The guy with the drag truck should be getting back to me soon. then we will know how well those fit.

shawny b has toyota spindles and his have positive camber. Im gonna have to shorten his uppers to make it right. The S-10 spindle is closer to the LUV than the Toyota so you guys that need to make that choice should lean toward the S-10 unless you are running coilovers. bag guys definitely will benefit from the travel of S-10 over toyota spindles. travel wont change but camber thru the travel will change more with Toyota spindles due to the uppers being shorter.

the correct trem is knuckle, or steering knuckle. then there is the spindle that is pressed or cast with the knuckle. its just every one knows it by spindle I too call it spindle sometimes. its like, the cresent rentch and monkey rentch (sorry dont know if im spelling it right). but those are not the correct names of them but yet we still use it. so spindle, knuckle its the same thing.

well I will finally be able to assemble Mightymouzs lowers. The uppers are close. I have the balljoint cups, bushing sleeves and all the pieces cut and already have the K772 screw in balljoints.

On another note Im making Kyle some lowers with more drop built in so he doesnt have to notch the frame so much.

good kyle. I went to shawnybs yesterday and for the most part everything looks swell. the toyota spindle is way different than an S-10 spindle but should be ok. a drop spindle would certainly help with more room for a bag though.

That would be the bag version. the notching is only above the rear tube and its not alot. If I make them an inch or so narrower and add in some more drop I may be able to eliminate the need to notch the frame. Im making some lowers now that are dropped a bit more than the last version and we shall see what happens there.

updates to come.

Mike, I am coming in on this thread kinda late but your A arms are what I need for my project truck. I would like to order a set of uppers and lowers, the narrowed version for a S 10 spindle, using coil-overs. What do I need to do to order them? Do I need to place the order on your website? Your work looks great and thanks for taking the time to help us out and fill a need on our trucks. Steve
