New Lifted OBS - Help me identify suspension

Smokingtires · May 25, 2018

Hey Guys- Please help me identify these A arms.

I just bought this lifted Yukon but I’m not able to identify the suspension. I’m thinking I’ll need to order new upper control arms because the new bushings don’t align well.

That's an interesting setup...looks custom unless I'm missing something.

That’s what I was thinking too. I googled all different style of A arms and found nothing similar.

I've never seen upper arms like that. My guess is homemade

I'm with GarrettGmc and NightRunner, the arm definitely looks homemade. Any other pictures of the truck?

I took it out wheeling yesterday and it did great. Lots of flex and no rubbing.
No funny noises from front suspension but the backend left Wheel was clunking over bigger ruts. I’m pulling it apart today to diagnose.
Whoever built the suspension did it well. The steering crossbar is crazy big as well. I’ll get more pics of it and rest of the suspension today.

If the UCAs, front bumper and blended rear roll pan with the offset license plate don't give it away, it looks like a custom fabricator went to town on your truck. Not a bad thing, just be careful with those UCAs. They look okay at first glance but I'd be worried about one bending after hitting a big pothole lol

I took it through our local obstacle course.. if they were going to bend/break they would have this weekend.
I have been power washing the 4-6” of mud off the undercarriage to give a better picture of what I’m working with.
Front bumper is totally piece of work. It’s mounted to the chrome bumper under it (all show/no go).
All of the suspension lift is welded to the frame (no or minimal bolts). This includes the torsion bar drop bracket and front diff drop.

They look to be homemade, I would go with rough country control arms or call bds and see if you can buy there's.

UPDATE: I ended up bending one going over a big pot hole.

I’m on the hunt for replacements that will work without UCA lowering brackets.
