I have to agree.. I have SSD arms on my truck and if I would have known Nate was building arms at the time I would have bought his.

Re: Tubular Control Arms 68 c-10

ARTs are nice too- that's a good price. I've heard of upper balljoint mounting issues with the CPP arms- dunno if they've corrected this...

Re: Tubular Control Arms 68 c-10

I worked for air ride as sales/tech/ warranty and I can say from experiance there where 0 issues with the ART arms as for the CPP arms through the range of motion they where good no ball joint bind and we have been driving the crap out of it...

Bey Jon how are you doing man?
With the art arms do they do anything about centering the wheel?

This is why I say buy the arms from Nathan at Porterbuilt. Tell him what you are trying to achieve and he will build to suit. He really does not have an inventory, that has to do with the two week joke, everything he does is almost considered custom. Push the wheel forward, move the wheel in, leave it in the stock location, all can be achieved with porterbuilt. Not bashing any of the other companies, i am sure the quality is the same. He is willing to go just that little extra mile for ya. It does cost you a little more money, that goes with custom made parts.
