Front suspension

Found out today that my Suburban has 3/4 ton lower control arms and spindles. Had the lowers clean, sanded, and smoothed and cheked the new balljoints, they fell through the hole. Got the 3/4 ton balljoints and they wouldn't go in my CPP dropped spindles. Truck came factory w/ disk brakes so I just figured it was 1/2 ton. Everything else I got fit fine so I went and found some 1/2 ton lowers and started over. Another day behind, but maybe tomorrow I can paint the arms and other pieces(body color Saffron Metallic) and put it together Wednesday. Then I can finally let the air out the bags and hit the ground. Wish me luck.

Why give up those heavy duty balljoints and tie rods?

My C1500 has 3/4 ton upper and lower control arms. It also has 3/4 ton tie rod ends. I'm pretty sure it's factory, maybe they ran out of 1/2 ton stuff.
