I noticed that the CalTracs don't have a Tahoe option... What do you select given the differences?

WICK3D,
Thanks for the link, very informative.

99YUK,
I brought this up because I was thinking about my DDer and thought it would work well with my Hoe. Since we have very few options for a performance based suspension, I thought this would be a good option. Especially since fabricaton wise, it is very simple.

Atomic,
Here's another option for the DIYer

There is a guy onperfromancetrucks that has a green 454 Suburban lowered with off road long bars, those work well, similar to the caltracs just have to be creative with the mounting locations ...

Someone on Ptrucks built long bars for pickups. They looked good to.

This is just an alternative suspension set up for the Hoe that I thought about. Something different a little less involved than a 3 or 4-link and seems to be a lot easier to fab compared to the like. It eliminates the leafs and gives you the option to run either coil-overs or shockwaves or any other type of bag. You can use either a PH bar or a watts link.
I'm just thinking out of the box. My end goal is to have a truck that will handle well. If its the last thing I do, hahahahahaha.

Ok. What are your opinions are on a truck arm set up?
They were used on the old C10s and Nascar has used them for years.
Hot Rods To Hell makes a kit that is available for our trucks. Actually, they are the only company that has any aftermarket rear suspension set up for our trucks. It is not bolt on but weld in.
Thoughts Opinions

Looking back into Truck Arms.
I found a 2dr 2wd Tahoe with them, trying to get some info from him. His Tahoe is nuts. He has a video at some hot rod event going through an AutoX course, suckers movin in his Hoe.
Coil-over suspension all around.
I'll be back with the info sometime this week.
