Control arms were all wrong, so I made them right
So I bought these Choppin' Block control arms awhile back when I converted to air ride, (I have yet to see another truck with them btw)
then recently switched to 2.5 inch drop spindles and slightly shorter tires and the plates for the bags were wayyy too low to the ground, 2 inches at best.
Not knocking Choppin' Block, I see the impressive setups they've been coming out with, but it seems they did not work out all the bugs on these.
So I decided to put them on my own choppin' block and rework them.
Cut the plates off and bashed them flat with a sledge, then welded them back on.
Cut the sway bar mounts off to remount them inside the tube so I can cut the wheel all the way for tighter turning radius.
Drilled a new mounting pin hole to move them forward an inch for more positive caster.
Should be back in business this weekend. Can't wait to be done welding and grinding so I can get back to ripping on this thing.
