tubular control arms yeild a drop? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have checked both CPP and PORTERBUILT and ART arms for this question. Do the arms have a drop built into them or it is the corrected camber that makes the truck lower? I am saving up for a set and wanted to know this.
Thanks

Our arms have an extra .5" of drop built into them.

Thanks for the reply Nate. I noticed the adjustment in your arms for the ball joint angle just was unclear of actual drop built in.
Thanks again.

CPP arms do not drop the suspension because that looses ground clearance. (we use a smaller diameter bushing so the crossmember, not the arm, is the lowest point.) We recomend uinig a drop coil, drop spindle, or both. Our upper arms have a little more caster and are a little longer so you can easily align the front end after it's been lowered.
