Best 71/72 tubular control arms for price?
Like the title says, who makes the best tubular control arm sets for the price? I know my current options are CPP, Hotchkis, Ridetech(coil over), and POL I may have missed one or two. I have some wheel rubbing issues on my stock lower arms, so I may look into replacing the Lowers for now, until I can do a full suspension swap. Any help is appreciated

- CPP are nice, especially if you're staying coil. Uppers have a flawed design though. Require their sway bar.
- Ridetech would necessitate their coilover conversion or bags and sway bar. Also very nice. - POL are inexpensive, but have greased bushings and low spring pockets can use stock sway bar. - Porterbuilt also offer a coil version and the forward balljoint is a nice addition. Must use their sway bar.

Re: Best 71/72 tubular control arms for price?
I went over that question for a year, check out youtube and look for some video on PCHRods, he has a 69 C10 doing auto cross, which I am building my truck for. I got some real good info from him on my build. I went with the Hotchkis TVS, upgraded fox shocks 2/6 spring drop, with BB front spring. Not cheap thought!!!! Hurt a lil bit

I really don't know what to do. It's hard to justify the expense when the end result may be a full No Limit Wide Ride or TCI IFS in the future.

Late to the party, but if you get PB arms, you can use them with the stock crossmember and dropmember
