okay the 71 gmc will be getting air ride that will consist of bags front & rear w/ 2 inch drop spindles and a c-notch out back. i have no desire to cut the bed. my question is...... there a need to install aftermarket contol arms upper and/or lower to achieve alignment?

thanks TRUX. so what is the advantage of those expensive arms.

If your going really low, they are an advantage because they do allow you to get your alignment geometry back in spec.

Beyond that they look really, really cool...
