C20 A Arms

Does anybody make tubular A-Arms for a 68 C20 that retains the original rating of 3/4 ton? I will be doing the CPP disc brake conversion and just curious if anyone makes the tubular arms to go along with it. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Check out the Porterbuilt arms, which can be made in Chromoly if you need as well.

This is my daily driver. Are the tubular arms better than a rebuilt factory unit. I don't mind spending the money if it is noticeably better and a safer ride.

I don't have any specifics numbers on the strength, but I can imagine they would be the same strength if not stronger than factory. Especially in chromoly tubing. For everyday use, they will be able to handle it.

Are you bagging the truck, or will it be a static drop?

I will be doing a static drop. 2.5-3 up front and 4 out back. Since I do still use this truck as a truck I don't want to go too low. I have been looking elsewhere in the forum to get ideas on just how low, but long bed steppers are not that common especially lowered ones.
