I have a set of 2 inch drop A-arms. They are for sale if you are interested. I began a project when I was 14 and I have called it quits. The A-arms were the only way that I could find to lower the front. Other than cutting the coils, but that will give you a terrable angle on your ball joints.

Do they fit as a direct bolt to a 2 wheel drive 1978 dodge half ton and if so how much do you want for them.
Thanks Herby

Just curious, have you ever considered jacking up the rear end or is it already up in the back? Do you have pics of your old '78 Dodge? I'm trying to visualize one of them. R.V.

The A-arms are on a 81 frame. Should be exactly the same as a 78. They have new balljoints, and poly bushings. We paid $450 for just the A-arms. Will sell for $300 + shipping.
