Re: s-10 control arms

I would like to run a deep dish wheel and I thought these would be shorter. It seems that there is alot more options available with the s-10 arms and the price is right. I wasn't even sure if the geometry would work. Just a thought

You can run a deep dish wheel with your stock setup, to its limits. You just need to measure what kind of backspacing and offset you can run.

Re: s-10 control arms

The SD arms are nice, but def not worth doing what you want to make them work.

Are you looking for a different tubular arm to run? uppers and lowers or 1 or the other?

If you are still interested in a month to 6 weeks, I might have something you want. I just have to get setup for them.

Re: s-10 control arms

right now I have the brothers tubular uppers. my lca's are stock and the po welded the balljoint in so I want to replace them with tubes. Let me know when you get something made. I'm in the middle of some body work and don't plan on getting back to the front end anytime soon.
