I bought these on E-bay pretty cheap. came off a dale and has all the spacers with them. but I also have to rebuild them because they are worn out. was hoping some one could help me identify them. Total length of the lower A-arm is 15" from center of ball joint to center of pin

Kind of look like Janssen a-arms. Not sure. But I'd give them a call.

ASR's +2 by +1. More then likely.

Those look for sure like ASR's. The pivot joints are dirt cheap $5 but he ball joints are around $15 to $25 depending on source.

thats a good start, any way to tell sizing by measurements, also is going through them the best way to get the rebuild parts?

If I am not mistaken Boomer had a very reliable and long lasting sealed ball joint kit for these that wouild be the way to go in the long run.
The good thing about those joints is that they will run unbelievably sloppy without pulling out. The bad thing about them is running open like that tends to eat them up but you usually at least get your monies worth out of them when you buy them new. I have a set and only needed to replace the lowers and somebody had some tighter ones here for cheap.

I think most asr's were 2 wider and 1 forward.

Any way to tell if they are long travel or not, just trying to decide whether to keep them or sell them and get a set of moto arms as long travel is what I am after
