Hotchkis Upper A-Arms and Sway Bar
Getting ready to install these on the '71. I'm sure the higher cost has concerned many people, but after seeing the great quality first hand, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these to anyone. Well done, Hotchkis!
I'll post some install pics soon, waiting on their 2" drop springs to be delivered. -Mike |

Nice!
 I just bought a upper and lower set, did yours come with those shims or did you buy them?

I bought the shims separate just to get things close and then I'll get it to the alignment shop after the truck is put together.

Re: Hotchkis Upper A-Arms and Sway Bar
I've got the Uppers mounted, just waiting on '71-'72 Ball Joints. They come with '73-'87 Ball Joints in the Uppers. Lowers fit '71-'87. Currently running ECE 2.5" Drop spindles with drilled/slotted rotors and Wilwood D-52 Calipers. I'll run this for a while and may upgrade to the CPP Mod spindles and bigger brakes when I eventually upgrade to the Hotchkis LCA's. Time will tell....
