Ive never been under the front of one of those, but do you mean the LCA has the balljoint ontop of the cast spindle instead of under it like everything in the world?

yea the newer chevys have the LCA balljoint facing downward, nut under the spindle.



imo ditch the torsion bars(since thats what holds the weight and your replacing it with a bag to hold the weight)

What about using the DJM lowering control arms and adapt them to work with bags? Will this work? I have decided to bag the front of mine instead of a static drop.

i belive all you have to do is make like a spacer to go under your control arms to raise up the center point, like adding a brick to the top of the pile, jsut adding a filler piece to get to where you want to go, sorry crappy way to put it but best i could think of, i know wsomeone has to have pictures
