Has anyone used DJM upper control arms to lay out on 22s? I know the 3500 arms are popular for being tubular but i cant seem to find any. My stock arms are binding at the balljoint still after reangling them. Need some imput...!

I used the DJM tubular ones on the tahoe I did. I used the uppers, lowers, and spindles all from DJM. I did end up narrowing the uppers 3/8" at the pivots to get it to camber enough to clear the fender. On the fullsize I am building now I made my own arms in conjunction with drop spindles.

Oh yeah, they are both on 24's. The Tahoe had 255/30s and the truck has 275/30. I built the arms on the truck 1-1/4" narrower.

i dont need to make mine camber any more than it does right now... i just dont know if it will lay out on 24s i have 22s right now with 295 30 22s i want to run 25 series 24s also. i think i have to notch my lowers also to lay 24s because i have almost no more room between the lower c arm and the frame..

I'm running stock control arms narrowed 1.5" and and angled to keep the ball joints from binding. Also I'm running a 255/30/24. Stock floored too

foxkid, your uppers are narrowed 1.5 inches or the lowers? did you run stock lowers or tubular for the 24s?

i have them right now that lay 28 inch wheels with no camber 24s are no big deal on any year model chevys. i have them narrowed 1 inch and 1.5 inches depending on what camber your looking for and how far of a body drop

Josh, he has the older body style chevy. 28's won't even come close to fitting on those.

I'm thinking about doing some tubulars just for a cleaner look though.

Josh, How much for a set of your tubulars
