Hey tx99 thanks for posting those links. Not about to spend $500 on control arms. Like you I could handle the Southside arms but can't tell from the pics if they have the drop that's needed.
I haven't done anything yet. Truck has been at a shop since August having the engine and rearend installed, just got it back last Thursday. Still not done but that's a long story not worth telling, too frustrating. Anyway, it's going to another shop as soon as I get the engine cleaned up and some sensors replaced. At that time will look at the upper arms again. I may go the notched frame route with stock arms. Not my first choice but I'm ok with it now after all the unsuccessful hunting for the correct tubular type.
If you find something that'll work post it please.
