This isn't a bushings-and-ball-joint refresh - it's a genuine geometry upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe factory upper control arm geometry on these trucks creates camber curves that work against you the more you lower the truck or push it hard through a corner. Ridetech's Upper StrongArms use revised arm length and mounting angle to correct that camber gain, meaning your tire contact patch stays flatter and more consistent through the suspension's range of travel - whether you're cruising down the highway or leaned over hard through a cloverleaf on-ramp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction-wise, these arms use heavy-duty tubing and upgraded ball joints that are simply in another league compared to the factory stamped steel arm with 35+ year old bushings. If you've ever had a factory upper arm bushing let go on you, you know exactly why this upgrade matters - it's not just about performance, it's about a front end that doesn't develop clunks and shakes over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese arms are engineered as part of Ridetech's complete StrongArm system, meaning they're designed to work in concert with the Lower StrongArms and Ridetech's front coilovers for a front suspension that's been engineered as a complete system rather than a pile of parts that happen to bolt to the same frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart number 11373699, straight from Ridetech. Installation uses factory-style mounting points for a bolt-on install, with a proper alignment recommended once everything's torqued down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chevrolet C1500 1988-1998.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRidetech Part #:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11373699\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy upgrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corrected camber geometry, heavy-duty tubing and ball joints, and a direct match for Ridetech's Lower StrongArms and front coilover systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete the front end conversion with our matching Front Lower StrongArms and Front Coilovers for Strong Arms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RideTech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58143939166368,"sku":"RT-11373699","price":620.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/9720\/2848\/files\/ridetech-front-upper-strongarms-c1500.jpg?v=1783211497","url":"https:\/\/obsrevivalparts.com\/products\/ridetech-front-upper-strongarms-1988-1998-chevy-gmc-c1500","provider":"OBS Revival Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
