Control Arms

I am going to do a static drop on my 86 and was wondering what advantage, if any, is there to going with tubular control arms over stock?

Re: Control Arms

Looks....

Depending on the brand they may improve suspension geometry, move wheel position, or lower the truck.

Re: Control Arms

I ended up speaking with a rep over at CPP and he said those control arms would give me an extra 1" ground clearance, so I went ahead and ordered them. This truck i just got had the light duty front breaks, so I decided to go ahead and upgrade that as well!
