what year is your front suspension?
I will have to take pics this evening....

here is one I found online from a dropmember install
notice the hole/recess in the cross shaft?
there is a pin on the cross member that goes in it to keep the arm in place

you know where the u bolt clamps on where do they go ,in the middle back or forward what positon

joe231 · 06-05-2009, 05:23 PM

I don't understand what you are asking, exactly?
there should only be one set of holes where the u-bolts go...

where the ubolt clamps on to the rod going thru the arm .should you clamp it down forward or backwards or in the middle .

**john** · 06-05-2009, 06:53 PM

The saddle the arm fits in will have a rivet head that the hole in the shaft fits in. If that is the question..

joe231 · 06-05-2009, 09:57 PM

Are you asking if the shaft goes to the front, rear, or center?
The locator hole in the shaft (like the pic I posted) determines that location of the arm.

i think it is rude to take a thread and turn it into something diff .if someone needs help then even if it seems small to you then have respect don't answer .

It also helps keep your thread up top in the thick of things.

Joe asked a few key questions & there's been a delay in your response. It's hard to offer you more suggestions until we hear from you.

joe231 · 06-08-2009, 09:45 AM

BIGPIMP that is your opinion....i think it is rude of you to ignore every question I have asked you while trying to HELP you......you just regurgiatate the same vague question over and over.

People are (were) trying to help you solve your problem. But they can't help you when you don't give them the feedback they need. While you were away, there was some 'hamming' going on but as stated, it also kept your thread (and important questions) up top.

Too bad you feel the way you do. This place can be a great benefit to the truck enthusiast.

no one said your problem was small

this is all the info you were willing to give me, I went out of my way to try to help you, I found pics online, and even took pics of my parts....i'm not looking for thanks just stating my "side"
I'm glad to try to help anyone on here at anytime, that is part of what makes this site so great, there are many people willing to help...all I asked for was a little info and clarification as to what exactly you were asking....

ruffrida2005 · 06-08-2009, 04:09 PM

Bigpimp like it was shown the locator holes go on the pins, Then the ubolts go around the cross shaft up into the crossmember to bolt.
