Tubular lower control arms

[Major86]

I currently run factory control arms on my 86 c10. Up front it has belltech drop spindles, belltech lowering springs and nitro drop shocks. Overall the truck is lowered about 6/8 and I love the stance. I have 15x7" rallys up front and even though I ground down the lower control arms some, they will occasionally rub the inside of my tires if I hit a bump in a curve. For that reason, I am looking at replacing the factory lower control arms with tubular control arms. My question is this: 1. Has anyone done this and can you give me advice from experience and 2. Will the tubular lower control arms lower my truck more? I don't have a problem with tires rubbing inner fender and I don't want that problem. Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks bbbc10!

Would I have to switch to their air springs or would my coils fit in their lower control arms? All I could find on their site were control arms that required one to switch to their air springs or air bags

Does anyone know how much drop the CPP tubular lower control arms has? I did not see it stated on their site.

they have something to bolt to the lower control arm to accept springs
