Here's my '84. Dropped the rear with flipped front spring mounts, shackles. No pinion angle issues. Gonna redo it again, if my friggin spindles ever show up.

I don't see a link to anything showing a 73 dodge.

On another site they're saying the late 70's New Yorker spindles will drop the truck 3". Anyone else heard about that?

Thanks, thought you might like it. Is yours the real deal Sublime? Mine's a Freightliner fleet color I picked out of a paint chip book. It's a little greener than Sublime, but lighter than Sassy Grass. Didja see the hood?

Checked them out, same stub location as my truck, so no good on this idea. Also looked at a few other Mopars, all were the same.

Yeah I spent a few hours last year in wrecking yards looking along the same lines. All were the same height as far as I could tell. The rc site says something about "the guy with the blue truck with rack and pinion" in a post. Seen anything on it?

I've been thinking about trying to "pocket" my lower control arms, sort of make my own 1-ton arms. I need to pull them and see if it's something I can do or not.
I'm also going to check into the Howe racing arms, like these http://www.howeracing.com/Suspension...StrutStyle.htm

I think I remember that, but I don't know who he's reffering to.
