Those A-arms are lowering control arms. That's different. If you have any fabricating skills I would clean up some of that previous fab work and cut that coil bucket out and build coilover mounts.

yes cut that coil bucket out and run a coil over up and mount it inside the crrent hoop for the shock, and ur tir rods are dinky, maybe fab some up some new ones with some DOM and heims?
and i would shape the lower a-arm like this and box it

Yea I wanna do coilovers but the cost factor come to play there. I can't shape the arm like that because of wheel clearance I would lose like 90%to if my steering range. But I deffinitly want to streghten the arms

I would love to do that to my 98. right now its more of a toy hauler than a toy tho. and it works for the mild off roading I get to do with it. wish i could fab up a front bumper like that too.

This truck is what I wanna do to mine. I have the same exact truck, stock but I don't hardly know **** about suspension but I can fab. What did the top and bottom a arms come off because mine is not like that at all. Tho it is stock. And the coils I was just gonna use stock 3500 coils so id only have to extend my steering?
