There are a couple of issues with second gens starting with GM changing the bolt size between 70-81 on the lower control arms. Not sure how many control arm manufacturers are taking this into account with their kits? Where the spring cup is located in the lower control arm will affect ride height. Some companies offer spring seats/shims while some do not. Also are the manufacturers pivoting the whole steering knuckle to increase caster or just pulling the top of the knuckle farther backwards which will affect how the wheel/tire looks sitting in the wheel well? Will the control arms affect track width? These are all things I'm trying to get sorted before making a purchase.
Thanks for your input and good luck with your project
