Fixed Extended Control Arms
 

I'm building and selling Fixed Length Control Arms. $300 + shipping

Specs:
2 1/5" & 2" x 1/4" DOM for Eyelets
1 5/8" x 1/8" DOM Arms
HyperFlex Polyurethane Bushings
Fully Tig Welded
Bare (-$25), Painted or Powder Coated
Will fit all Second Gens and all Third Gens (12v 2nd gens need a different size ID bushing so just let me know and I will swap out the appropriate inner sleeves)

I can build to custom length, but I'm going to keep stock in the standard sizes for the various leveled trucks. (i.e. stock up to 3" level)

Right now I have 3 full sets that are 3/4" longer than stock, which will be good for 2-1/2" to 3" leveled trucks. These sets have been painted.

Any questions feel free to msg or email me.

Down to two sets available.

BTW - I accept cash, check, paypal and can accept credit cards through paypal.

One Set available.

Two or three weeks for the next batch.

Had a chance to look at a 4th Gen this past weekend. These arms will also fit 4th Gens.

My Suspension is completely Stock would these work on mine and could you possibly explain to me some of the benefits? Sorry not to familiar with suspension parts. :humm:

Yes they would, although I'd make stock length ones.

The main benefit is for leveled and lifted trucks. When you raise the truck, the distance between the frame and axle increases. A side effect of that is with stock length control arms, it causes the axle to be pulled back toward the cab, bringing it out of being straight up and down. Think of a 90* triangle, you lengthen one side but not the others, it changes the degree of the angles.

Having you're axle out of vertical, even by a bit, can cause suspension issues. Main example is when you hit a decent bump, it can cause the steering to jerk as the axle bounces and travels. That's the main thing I encountered when I leveled my rig.

Lengthening the control arms a bit, brings the axle back to vertical.

The other advantage, and this would be true for stock or leveled/lifted trucks, is the heavier duty construction and the use of polyurethane bushings instead of rubber. Rubber has a lot of flex/play in it, and also dries out, cracks, and rots. Polyurethane doesn't suffer those issues nearly as much, also takes longer to get to that point. It is also firmer, less flex and less play. Which means it doesn't allow the axle as much in unwanted movement.

Some will say to use things like the Ballistic Joints and such. Personally, unless its an off-road truck that needs a very high level of articulation, I don't feel its necessarily worth the cost. But that is something that you (as the consumer/truck owner) would have to decide. I don't really believe in overkill, no such thing, as long as you got the money for it, lol.

Hope that helps, feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
Thanks.

do u do any for a 7.5 inch lift on the front trade u stock ones plus $$$

thanks for all the info im getting ready to look at a lift for my truck ill definitly keep you in mind. :c:

I haven't yet, would just have to look into the length and what if any angles need to change. Sorry, but don't really have a use for stock control arms.

You're welcome. Thanks, just let me know :tu:

sounds good ill keep in touch
