Upper Control Arms used in the video. Note the color of the new arms is black, despite Summit Racing's description copy. Also, be SURE to verify that the set screws are present and installed tightly (see video).

3" Drop Spindles. Note that there are 2 types, depending on the thickness of your factory brake rotors. There are also 2" drop spindles available from the same manufacturer. Once again, I have no affiliation with DJM, Summit Racing, or anyone else.
Part Four (this video) gives an overview of the upper a-arms and drop spindles used, as well as demonstrating the need to clearance the spindles, which is required for running 15 inch wheels.
Part Three • Lowering Front End, 19... covers assembling the lower a-arm bushings and ball joints, and discusses options when it comes to lubrication.
Part Two • Lowering Front End, 19... covers removing bushing shells from the A-arms by hand, without a press or any fancy tools.
Part One www.youtube.co.... covers removing ball joints and control arm bushings by hand, without a press or any fancy tools.
The truck in the video is our 1984 GMC project vehicle, but the techniques depicted apply to any Square Body 73-87 GMC/Chevy Truck.
