These are the top quality ballistic fab high steer arms I waited 3 months to get. Notice the half engraved skull on the right arm and the taper on the holes on the left arm are waaay deeper. Never again. That's not my only problem with their **** parts either.

And here's the other side. This is what I ordered to fit the 60 tubes. I really cannot stand this ballistic joke of a place.

I wish that was the end of all the ****ty parts and customer service I received from them but its not. Not gonna go in to detail about anything else but they're definitely never getting my business again and that's all I have to say about that. For now.

Chevy 3/4 ton brakes fit perfect. Used a bracket from cut throat 4x4. Just need to burn in my mounts now.

Ya I heard they suck and just too big. When I got it there was no calipers on it and some weird 1/2 ton brackets on it. PO was trying to do a 5 lug conversion and never finished it. Did you have to cut into your housing to fit your coil buckets or did you weld to the cast? I'm trying to fit my buckets and it seems part of the drivers side one wants to be kinda on were the leaf perch is on the housing.

This is where they want to be.

I like that idea thanks. My springs real close to the track bar mount so that should move it out some.

Not getting the new head back from the machine shop till Monday but got a pretty good start on it. Glad it happened pulling into my driveway instead of 2 hours away at go topless day I guess.

I really want to replace the head bolts. Does anyone know if the head bolts for 96+ are the same as the older model bolts? My local parts stores are only listing head bolt sets for 96+ and I can't find anything about it on the Google.
