Yes it does. CHECK THE BUILD THREAD! I made a tapered insert for the factory ball joint taper to accept a 5/8" bolt.

Probably $450-500 with balljoints. I could probably actually do it cheaper with Uniballs, the balljoints cost a lot.

You need to either have Seth do it or me do it. I am sure Seth would agree that you need a matching set. Seth does awesome work, so if you want to have him do the full set you would be in good hands. Or I can make you a complete set.These trucks are not the easiest to lay out... that's for sure!. You will need to step (Z) the front frame, which will raise your motor. So now you need to drop the motor, which means you need to modify the front crossmember and motor mounts. Then there is the steering, which is a pain beacuse it is a rear steer setup. Lastly, all the crossmembers need to be removed and the tranny crossmember and carrier bearing crossmember need to be remade.

These trucks are hard in comparison to most.  I agree with Jeremy, the set should come complete from one source. Honestly I would steer you towards him right now, he already has a set of uppers done. I'm so busy right now I hardly have time to get on the computer, and I have been having trouble just keeping up with my production orders. And I am also moving the shop starting the first of next month, so it's a tough time for me to do anything, and I'm trying to finish a race car with a list that likes to get longer faster than I can cross items off of it.

check out dallashotrodparts.com  i recently ordered a set about 6 months ago for a customer and for the money you really cant beat it i ve built some arms but by the time u build a jig and all the parts involved, and labor involved youl wouldhave $400-450 in it at least.    for $550 you get complete upper and lower set with balljoints and all the bushings, hardware etc

I have some of DHP's arms on my truck as well.  This thing looks like it's gonna lay out big time.  Haven't got drop spindles yet as my budget sucks.  But thanks to Mike at DHP for the arms!
