Question rebuild kit????

hey guys quik question, i am looking for a complete rebuild kit for my stock 72 c-10 upper and lower control arms.. i have search all the site vendors sites and didnt find anything, lmc has some things but not a complete kit..... i am doing a frame off...and the suspension is up to bat now... i am running 2 inch coils in the front 2 1/2 drop spindels.<just orderd today. factory front sway bar, new bushings all around... rear i just did a flip kit with shock relocators.... i was thinking about going tubular upper control arms, is this needed? other than it looking cool i wouldnt think i would need them with my front drop? i have had the 2 inch coils now for 7/8 years and with no problems.And adding the spindels wouldnt change anything would it???.. any help would be great. Thanks in Advance ....Tony

Re: rebuild kit????

Most all of the local parts stores should have everything you need. Do you have a NAPA or anything. We can sell you everyhing you need but you can get it cheaper at a local store almost all of the time. With the exception of the control arms. If everything is ok, are you just wanting to put on tube control arms on your existing setup?

Re: rebuild kit????

LMC has the lower control arm seal, but they only have the 3/4 ton upper control arm seal. I have looked everywhere for the upper with no luck. My shafts show NO wear so I didn't want to buy the shaft kit but it looks like I will like it or not.
