I have a dropmember with ART lowers. MY question is I know they wont work with the "New designed dropmember" but mine is the the older one with the machined pieces to hold the lower control arms. Can I have a set for mine or will it not work

yeah, they will fit fine. there shouldnt be any problems at all, even with the new dropmember. unless ART and stock arms do not fit the new dropmember.

So are the arms resting on the ground? The bottom of the control arm would be the lowest point on the truck correct?
