I ordered a set of Spohn boxed lower rear control arms to beef up the rear suspension a bit and eliminate any possible wheel hop that might happen if Whipple ever ships my blower and I get it installed. Plus they will look cool. I'll order new OEM or Moog uppers too so all the bushings will be new. I didn't need the adjustable ones and these are beefier by far. BBP refunded me some cash on my blower due to their cost being lower than expected so I figured I'd better blow it.

Can u post side by side pic of those vs stock ones when u change them out. Just wondering if these are a tad bit skinnier then the weird stock ones. I'm looking for alittle more clearance for my 305tires and might order a set of these if they are skinnier.

Will do. If it doesn't show up here it will be in my build thread.

Seriously considering saving up and waiting to do a 6 inch lift with 35s... Talk me out of it guys hahaha

I was going to do a 6-12'' suspension lift as well but living in NYC means 90% of parking garages I need to drive into for work are 6'8'' max height clearance... I'm sitting at 6'6'' as of right now and barely fitting as is. So much for my plan of 42'' tireso_O

Are they shorter than stock at all? It would seem that real low trucks would need shorter arms to compensate

No they're stock length. I'm only lowered 3" in the rear and on my Denali with 26's to be perfectly centered the tires would need to come forward only 1/4". It's not enough to bother with. You can't tell looking at them and they don't rub. I'd rather have the extra strength these have. Spohn does sell adjustable upper and lower ones.
