Im in need of a lower control arm balljoint for my art lower control arm. Do they sell special ones or do they utilize stock balljoints? btw i have a 94 s-10 blazer. And on another note i have drop spindles and lower and upper art. If i put my stock spindles back on could i get alot more lift and still lay out im using slam rs 72"s on a 225-35-20. thnx

No ur truck wont lay out unless u use a 2" drop spindle! The tie rod ends will hit the frame also! In reason if u dont install a 2" spindle then u will get more 2" more lift with ur baggs but u wont lay out! Im not sure about the ball joints never had to replace mine!

i have my frame notched for the tierods. but how can the control arms make me have so much less lift unless they lower the truck some

ART does no use lowered control arms, so you get no drop out of the control arm. What you did was remove your lower cup, but got a taller top cup to compensate. Removing your drop spindles will not let you lay on a 20. You'd have to cut the frame all up for the control arm to move up more and you'd have wicked camber.

well i realize now that i did lose the lower cup. dunno why that didnt click. So do they make taller upper cups?? i kept the same upper cups when i installed the control arms.

what cups do you have now?

SD has a cup made for when u use ART's arms. its an upper cup that is already the right height to lay on 20's. ART's upper cup needs trimmed to lay and if you had SD's cups when u first got bagged, its too short to utilize MAX lift.

i have the sd s10 cups that had lowers, didnt change cups when i got control arms. So i need to buy taller s10 cups from suicide to utilize max lift awsome man thnx for the help. this is what i run now
