85 Suburban Control Arms

Hello. I'm about to replace ball joints and control arm bushings in my 85 GMC Suburban c2500, 2WD with 454. I have a buddy that has all new control arms for his 85 GMC c2500 2 door pickup. He has since sold the pickup but still has the control arms. Is there any reason why the control arms for his pickup would not fit in my Suburban?


Thanks!

Same thing, the only difference would be from 3/4 to 1/2 ball joints

Re: 85 Suburban Control Arms

not to hijack your thread, but i need upper control arms for my 89 burb. I have the porterbuilt dropmember, it was made for stock arms, ART arms, or Porterbuilt arms. The guy that built my burb used Dallas Hot Rod arms, and they're a couple inches too short (when i raise the truck up i have serious negative camber issues). My father in law has a frame from an 80 half ton c10. Would the upper arms from the 80 work on my 89 burb? Thanks in advance....
