Should be easy. Buy the drop shafts and install them to your existing control arms.

What does it take to retrofit these to your upper control arms?
Thanks.

Possible 'fitting' required due to small variances in the welded frame assembly. All the shafts are CNC machined to a specific length, we hand fit each shaft, if they need to be slightly shorter, we use a disc sander with 90 degree table.Thanks! The description on your site mentions “fitting”, I thought that might be more involved.

Well you could try our tubular upper arms, lowers and camber kit. That would give you the most adjustment range. No telling how thick that steel is though and how it may limit the range of alignment options.Shaun - for the control arm, how ‘short’ can the heims be adjusted vs the stock arm? I have a bit of a mess going on in the shock tower, the PO added some odd bracing, that isn‘t helping my suspension geometry. The added rectangular plate is pushing the upper control arm further out. Secondly, that lower brace is preventing me from doing the 1” drop.
This wasn’t noticeable with my skinny tires, but now with 235s, I’m getting some rubbing, even with the fenders rolled flat.
I know long term, the shock tower needs to be cleaned up, but was thinking that if for now, I can run the shorter upper arm, at least I could avoid the rub, and maybe get a reasonable alignment.
It’s a 1968, running new stock upper and lower control arms, Drake perches, Drake 1” springs with half coil cut, stock strut rods. Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can shorten the arms 1/8" to 3/16".Thanks Shaun, understood. I‘d estimate the thickness is about 1/8” to 3/16”. Would your arms be able to be shortened this amount by adjusting the heim? Thanks!
