Cpp control arms for a airbag
Hey folks I am think about ditching my cupped control arms on 72 for a set of cpp arms so I was wondering if anyone had a picture of the control arms for airbags cause all they could tell me is that it has provisions for the ride tech mounting brackets so I don't know if these will work with my DOM 2600 bag. And another thing before I make the purchase are they really worth the money cause I've heard that it will get the front a little bit lower.

Re: Cpp control arms for a airbag
I remember old threads about CPP a-arms for bags having a small area to mount the bag. Meaning,... you would have to run a 2500 bag up front to keep from rubbing the sides of the bag on the a-arm.
In my opinion there are better a-arms. Porterbuilt or Ridetech would be my first choice. No a-arm is going to get you lower than the cross shaft that is bolted to the crossmember. This is the lowest point on these trucks. You need to get a sectioned crossmember, z'd frame, or aftermarket crossmember like the Porterbuilt Dropmember, to get your suspension higher in the frame rails, to get the front lower to the ground.
