New to this forum and square bodies. Bought a 78 k15 about a month ago. Looking for a front end kit with no luck. Buying parts piece by piece until I got to the control arm bushings. No luck finding them so far. Are the 2 wheel drive control arms the same as the 4x4?

4wd square bodies do not use control arms, they have leaf springs.

Copy that, I obviously haven't crawled under the truck yet. Thanks

Are you looking to lift it, or is there a problem with the front end?

Going to lift it as much as possible without changing the steering or driveshaft. Thinking about 33's. Was going to start pulling the doghouse off today but decided to wait for spring.

Those are pretty steep ramps. I’m looking for the doghouse itself though. I just want to compare it to mine.

This is the truck at delivery. Only pic I have right now. Replacing the fenders so getting them out of the way for suspension and engine work. Looking at vortec heads and a mild cam

Pretty sketchy looking ramps indeed. Colorado to Illinois like that
