I'm ok with spending the money for the arms if they are an improvement but I don't want to get them just to get them. I noticed MAC808 was using the stock arms and his truck looks awesome.

Once I figure out how to post some pics I'll show my progress so far.

Thanks in advance for your help! I'm anxious to get parts ordered but I want to do it right the first time.

The lower the truck is using bags/drop springs, the more the wheel is off center in the wheel well. The 1" forward arms help re-center for the best 'look'.


Stock rear truck arms get the job done w/a stock bed floor in place. If the bed floor doesn't have to be raised for clearance, the aftermarket arms are just an upgrade.
