I have a nice set of dropped arms, gonna sell them, I would rather use dropped uprights I think.

 

Out of curiosity. Why? i plan to drop the arms on mine and am open to hear pros and cons of the mod.

 

We cut a coil and a half out of our fleetline front and visually it made a huge difference. I have also read somewhere here that if you put 53' uprights in aswell you'll get even lower.

 

Run the arms! I have that done to my Bubbletop. Years of no problems. If you combine the uprights and lower A-arms you will have the ride of a FULL coil spring and longer (stock length) shock.
