This CBC set replaces both your upper and lower factory arms with fully TIG-welded, thick-wall tubular construction designed specifically around air suspension geometry, so your truck lays out low without the bind, binding ball joints, or scrubbed tires that plague trucks running factory-geometry arms on bags.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoppin' Block, now CB Chassis Products, built their name doing exactly this kind of work: complete air suspension conversions for GM trucks that need to get low and stay driveable. These arms come standard, or in a 1\" narrowed configuration for extra wheel clearance once you're tucking big wheels at ride height, a huge deal on a truck that's meant to lay frame. Every set ships with polyurethane bushings and Moog ball joints already installed, and a black powder coat finish that holds up under a truck that lives low to the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese arms are compatible with all standard air bags, so whether you're running Firestone, Slam Specialties, or another brand entirely, you're not locked into a single bag ecosystem.

Factory arms were never designed to operate at the extreme angles an aired-out truck sees every single day, and it shows in accelerated wear, bad camber, and a harsh ride.

This is a common pain point for OBS truck owners chasing a more aggressive wheel fitment, and CPP addresses it directly rather than leaving you to fabricate spacers or narrow arms yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese arms are also built specifically to accept coilover shocks, meaning the spring perch and shock mounting geometry is correct from the factory rather than requiring you to adapt a standard control arm after the fact. If you're planning a coilover conversion and want wider wheel clearance handled in the same upgrade, this is a smart way to knock out two problems with one control arm swap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCPP builds these to their usual standard for classic truck suspension components - solid construction that installs without drama using factory-style mounting points. This keeps the job in bolt-on territory rather than requiring narrowing fabrication work on your existing arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation uses your factory upper control arm mounting points for a straightforward swap, though as always, get a proper alignment once your front end work is complete, especially given the track width change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chevrolet C1500 2WD 1988-1998.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCPP Part #:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8898TCA-ULK-B-COK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePairing this with a coilover kit?
