I run front springs out of the front of Chevy trucks.
Some guys use the fronts from Vics.

I use rear springs out of newer tahoes and suburbans. They work very well for me. Tom

Anyone have pics of conversion brackets mounted on car. Really only need pic of lowers. Just trying to figure out where they should mount. I'm making my own brackets. I remember pics of a town car floating around that showed brackets installed but cannot find them.

I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on swapping 98^ A Arms to 80s A arms. Wondering if you are putting A arms and spindles on the 98 a arm mounts or if you are cutting the 80s a arm mounts 80s car and welding them on to 98^ frames? Also wondering if 97 spindles are the same as 80s or not. Kinda new to this and trying to figure out what I need to be saving. Feel free to pm if you want thanks

the 80's a arms will bolt up to your 98 brackets on the frame, just put some washers in to shim it up tight. and yes you have to use the 80's spindles too. the calipers will rub your wheels if not.
