Torque Arm
So I happen to reread about BMR's Torque Arm Suspension and found no one seems to make one for trucks. So guru's do one of you make a kit for trucks? I have a 65 GMC with leaf springs which are fine but when I do my suspension work next year I wanted to go to the torque arm instead of the usual stuff people are doing.
Side question for Rob. You offer a traction control kit for 55-59 Chevy's will that work on my 65?

Re: Torque Arm
Why not truck arm with aftermarket arms?
I think they are trying to fill voids in the market rather then go against a well entrenched, and good suspension set-up. |

Re: Torque Arm
A lot of suspension choice comes down to what I call "packaging". Meaning, what can you fit, and/or, what won't fit. Torque arms are becoming popular in muscle cars because they can be made to fit in without major mods to the floor. 4-bars, 3-links, and trailing arms (any with the correct suspension geometry to actually work) won't fit without major mods. You could swap in a trailing arm set up or go with one of our 4-bars and be very happy, without the sleepless nights.
Side note. - No. Out Traction control kits are only for the older 2" wide leafs 55-59, and won't fit on the later models. ---- see above.
