FBI S10 Arms Are Done!

Saw somebody asked about 88-98 arms. We have a 1/2 ton on the rack right now, and arms and a new link are in the works! The S10 development took WAAAY too long- like 6 months- but we learned a lot about production, so I hope to have 88-98 arms on the street by the end of October, with the link close behind.
I'm VERY excited about the new 88-98 link, because we've got some cool modular options in the works... but I'll start a new thread for that!

I may have to use some advertising funds to purchase a set of these arms to review.

They look awesome Phil, great job. Seems like FBI is trying to turn around its not so good image from a few years back.

so how large a wheel/tire can you lay with these arms?

Phil, just throw on a set of tubular headers on a 4.3, the position of them and a 350 with headers it the same. the 4.3 and 350 are the same deck height and width.

i didnt see an answer for this, so i'll ask again. What size tire will these lay on?

i have a 350 and a 22 with a 265/35/22 tire... send me a set and i can make sure they work for ya..

The shop beater is on 14s with balloon tires, which I just measured out to about 26.25" diameter. Other than trimming the spring cups out for bag clearance, the frame hasn't been modified, and the frame is flat on the ground. The wheelwells have been cut out of course, and running a 20 will obviously give you clearance issues with the brake booster and clutch master, but the frame itself shouldn't need any mods to lay a 20 with a 35- possibly even a 40 series tire.
I'll get a set of the finished product on the beater this week for some photos so you can see the clearance that's left- the lower arm was still around 1" from hitting the frame, so I don't think much extra trimming will be required to lay a 22. The balljoint angles are still good, so I think you should be able to just notch the frame for the lower arms' tubes and for the steering links, and you should be good to go.
Bryan, PM sent!
