Yes they are the Astro control arms.

Thanks. I want to use these on my '89 K1500 GMC RCLB. I'll be watching to see if you have to do any grinding on the stops due to reduced turning radius like I've read in other posts.

I’ll keep you posted.

A little update for the weekend. Didn’t have a lot of time this weekend.

Looks great! Is the upper absorber centered (or close to being centered) in the upper mount? On a side note, your eccentric washers are backwards. I made the same mistake, too.

It is centered, but not completely bolted in, I have to get some longer bolts for the top mounts.

You are correct, I know better and still screwed it up. I’ll get those changed out out.

I made the same mistake, and it cost me a set of bolts. Truck looks great! Really clean job you're doing.

Nice. Nod to the lift manufacturer for that one.

Can you please explain further on what you mean by the washers are in backwards?
I thought that I understood, but I don’t and haven’t been able to find any information on them.

I picked up some odds and ends from Summit today. First up is the exhaust. It will consist of, JBA headers, JBA crossover, Flowmaster cat, Borla muffler and dual 2.5” out behind the tires.
