StrongArms - Front Lower Control Arms for 1988-1998 Chevy/GMC C1500.
For use with CoolRide Air Springs, what says 'performance' more than a set of tubular control arms?
After all the time and effort expended on your ride, you definitely can’t let your stamped OEM control arms detract from all that work.
Finish your suspension off with these new tubular control arm systems from Ridetech.
Built with all the care and experience you have come to expect from us, these tubular control arms are a precision-engineered solution for ShockWave installation, ball joint binding, and frame clearance issues that can haunt some vehicles.
When you combine the performance benefits with the elegant design of these arms, there is no question...
You want these.

We have a new 4-axis tubing bender that allows precise, repeatable bends that no other machine can achieve.
We can create elegant tubing bends that would otherwise require several separate welded components.
Components - We have worked closely with Moog, a major manufacturer of OEM ball joints, to ensure that the proper ball joints have been selected for the application...

Proper poly or rubber bushings are selected based on application and the type of driving or racing that is anticipated.
Geometry - Geometry of a suspension starts with the position of the frame...
