how much weight can you shave off by going to tubular control arms?upper and lower

 

not enough to be worth it. I really didn't pay much attention to weight when i installed mine, but it couldn't have been more than a few pounds.

 

no one makes these w/o them being lowering arms do they?
I searched last year for some and couldn't find any non-lowering ones other than some for air bags...I was going to install them when I was doing the ball joints and control arm bushings...

 

i bet they would look good powder coated were do you get them

 

well, i cut my frt spring to lower my frt so i could get stock springs and a 2in. lowering lower arm and it would bo the same height. i also that about the air ride shockwave system .im just wondering how much weight it would shave off the frt. im thinking maybe 20 pounds if i just go control arms, and 30 if i go to shockwave system

I weighed mine on a split scale, 2620 on the front, 1760 rear.
But: battery is in the box on pass side, glass hood(not a big weight diff)
Don't think it's much savings.
