Next up - control arms. This truck had huge stacks of spacers on the upper control arms which I wanted to reduce if possible as well as wanting to tuck in the track width a bit. I ended up narrowing the lower control arms by 1/2" each and on the uppers relocated the ball joint 1/4" in & 1/4" rearward to improve caster a bit.

Welded back up (the welds are ground down on the top - these are also welded on the backside & not ground)
