Part Recommendation Great Product. Blue Moon Motorsports (Control Freak)

Dewayne (Fatboys'69) and I installed a set of these upper and lower tubular control arms this past weekend on his '69!! They are awesome and iIwould recommend these to anyone looking to strengthen and improve the handling of their truck. Best of all they fit perfectly and lowered the truck 1.5 inches. They fit great, look great and work great. I give these a 10 out of 10 for quality!

BTW- these are the Control Freak control arms owned by Blue Moon Motorsports in longwood, Florida. Look in the Nov/Dec issue of TRUCK BUILDER for a full install

Re: Part Recommendation Great Product. Blue Moon Motorsports (Control Freak)

Cool, so these and a set of 2.5" drop spindles will result in a total of 4"? Is the spring pocket lowered in the arm?

BTW, I got your PM, that's just what I was looking for. Thanks!

Re: Part Recommendation Great Product. Blue Moon Motorsports (Control Freak)

Yeah, like I said we put a set on Dewaynes '69 (Fatboys'69) and he combined them with a CPP 3 inch drop coil and it came out awesome.

For the rear he added 4 inch coils paired with a set of custom made 1-inch billet drop blocks that he designed and fabricated. It handles like a mad ninja!

Re: Part Recommendation Great Product. Blue Moon Motorsports (Control Freak)

Man They Are The Best !!!!!( Thanks For All The Help Josh !!! ) I'll Try And Post Some Updated Stance Photos Tonite. All I Have Now Is A Few Snap Shots I Took During Installation, Be Sure To Check Out The Upcoming Edition Of Truckbuilder For The Full Install. These Things Made A World Of Difference, I Already Had Swaybars And Nitrogen Shocks From Cpp Installed. These Put It Over The Edge !!!!!. Got The Rear Dropped Last Nite And Finally Got The Stance I Was Looking For.
Pro Touring !!!! With Big Tires.

I couldn't find them on their site either... all I seen was mustang and chevy car control arms. Did you guys use one of those?

Re: Part Recommendation Great Product. Blue Moon Motorsports (Control Freak)

Your truck looks great!. How much are the new control arms?. I couldn't find them on the site. Does all 4 rims have 4.5 B.S.? Are you going to start selling the drop blocks you designed?

Re: Part Recommendation Great Product. Blue Moon Motorsports (Control Freak)

70c10, the $$ is around the $1,300 - $ 1,500 price range for the uppers and lowers ( these things come complete with poly bushings, new shafts and ball joints. All you have to do is bolt them on!! ). Yes the B.S is 4.5 all around. Don't know about the blocks yet they are something that was made up at my work and had a local shop bend up the new u-bolts, may do it. Still trying to get our disc conversion kits pulled together so we can get them out to people who want them !!! We may do the blocks, gotta do a little cost breakdown.

Re: Part Recommendation Great Product. Blue Moon Motorsports (Control Freak)

I double checke and the arms are a little cheaper, They are about 1100.00 for the set. These however are for looks but are for the real performance buff.
