Re: ART a arms

Here's a shot stolen from the 66swb build up that Porterbuilt is working on.

Re: ART a arms

I just installed the Strong Arms without the body on so if you need a particular shot, just let me know.

Re: ART a arms

You can get them from Air Ride Technologies directly or I recommend using Nathan of Porterbuilt streetrods. Awesome guy! You also get a 10% discount going through Nathan.

Re: ART a arms

Just to give you some insight on that question. Originally our Upper control arms were more of the "A" arm shape where there were two separate pieces that came together at the ball joint plate. Now, it is a one piece bend like what you see in the picture above.

Re: ART a arms

I thought I saw 2 different "shapes" on the same arm, thanks for setting it straight I am running a 3" spring drop, & just looking to straighten the upper balljoint angles out. I dont plan on bagging it, or changing the lower arms at this point. Are the upper arms compatible with the stock lowers, & what will they change on the front geometry? Are the arms shorter C to C ,balljoint to shaft? L

The upper arms are compatible with your lowers, there weren't really any changes made to those in the way of geometry, but they should help with your ball joint angles. We did, however, put a couple degrees of caster into the lower arms and made most of the geometry changes there since most guys usually change those arms first.

Thanks much for the input I had planned to modify the lower arms to fit my needs.....unless I ditch the coils. L
