Anyone know what brand of A arm this is? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi All, I found these parts for sale and was thinking about buying them. Everything has never been used but was installed and left sitting outside for 6 months. There is a set of air bags,lower control arms,disc brake kit,new ball joints and tie rod ends, and 2.5" drop spindles. The bags are slam 7's and the arms are air ride tech.(this what I was told) Don't know what brand the spindles or disc brake kit are. What do you all think this stuff is worth?
Thanks for any help/advise you can give. Mark

Do you also get the sub frame? If not you will need to grind off the upper airbag mounting plate. To give you an idea, the parts cost well over $500.00 new.

Lower arms retail for $499.

Bags are $75 a piece.

That's $650 new for those two items alone.

I could have subframe but I don't think I will take it. The seller said he will remove the parts and meet me to pick them up. That will save me 5 hours of driving.(I have never seen the parts in person just pictures) Do you think the A arms are from Air Ride Tech?(Are tubular A arms all about the same?) Thanks much!!!

Not all tube arms are the same... those are ART arms for sure.

The ART arms as as good as it gets for quality. A few guys think they are "overpriced", but I haven't ever heard complaints on quality.

How mych does the guy want... and what exactly are you getting?

I still think you should grab the subframe to have the complete system.

I agree that would be nice. I hope it works out that I have the time to do that.
