Re: Tublar A-Arms???
ART advertise better geometry on their arms..... not sure about other brands.

Re: Tublar A-Arms???
With the strong arms (ART) they change the mounting angle of the ball joint to help it from binding up for lowered trucks. It is only a few degrees but it is supposed to make a difference. I would imagine that most of the companies that make aftermarket control arms would do the same thing. Besides the tubular A-Arms just look alot better!!!!

on my truck, it's the difference between the control arms scraping on te ground and them not. It's also the difference between the uppers hitting the frame and not. plus they look cooler.

Re: Tublar A-Arms???
i have the air ride strong arms on my truck, for a lowered truck they added in positive camber (less shims to align the front) and more caster (less bump steer), the ball joint angle is lessened also. the only downside to the strong arms is you have to use air ride techs sway bar.
