Default UPPER CONTROL ARMs

where can you buy the aftermarket upper control arm?? im not gonna do the whole pkg deal for like 500$ im gonna buy the 50$ shackels, and krank the keys up, but i might aswell put the tougher control arm in there with out buying the whole system... does anybody know where you can get the both side upper control arms that are made for the different angle in the ball joint seperate from the whole kit? is for a 93 blazer

They arent cheap...

RC 2" Kit - $429.95 + shipping
SL Control Arms - 381.95 + shipping
Difference of $48

If you really, really want tubular control arms I'd just buy the RC 2" kit and sell what you don't use.

I was able to get a good camber angle with the stock control arms, and I actually maxed the caster negative to significantly help rub with the 32s.

They sell offset bushings for the control arms as well. I will eventually use these when I go another inch higher, but they are not needed for a 2" crank.

BTW, I suggest AAL, not shackles. Just my .02
