*** New Updates 01/27/10 ***

Ok new pics of the finished Colorado upper adjustable set. Check these out and let me know what you think. There is an extra set of these for anyone that wants some. Email me if you want some of these. I can also make them with heim joints if you like.



I just completed this set of 99-06 GM fullsize uppers that are also adjustable. I have had these done for a while but I screwed up one of the balljoints and had to redo one. I reworked my jigs completely for these arms to make them adjustable and make the regular ones on the same jig. I was also changing from a bolt on balljoint to these that use the press in style ones like the factory arms. These are also available with adjustable poly bushing ends. Im working on an adjustable lower set for the 99-06 GM fullsize. Let me know what you think.





Ok I got the bag plates on the Colorado lower arms. I drew these up the other day and had them cut today. Let me know what you think. I now have the Colorado jigs finalized and can produce the production version at any time. While I have the jig out I will go ahead and start making the new adjustable upper version and the version that uses the K6292 balljoint. Pics of those as soon as I have something. For now check out these pics of the bare lowers with the bag plates on. These belong to the guy that many of you should be thanking. He is the one that got the ball rolling by ordering the set. enjoy!



Heres a pic of the all new 03-2010 Colorado upper set.

I am now making some more Colorado uppers that are adjustable and also sets with the K6292 GM fullsize balljoint. Thanks to the guys on 355nation.net for the balljoint number. These are now available and I will keep the Colorado (355) jigs out to make these for a while. Anyone needing 355 parts hit me up asap so I know what the demand is going to be like.

Im still working on the all new DHP rear cover mounted watts link for the GM 10 bolt rearend. Ive had to stop for a little bit while I move my shop and get some arms orders out. I will post updates here as soon as I have something.

This is the all new 99-06 GM fullsize upper arms.

These have been redesigned to use the OEM style press in balljoint #K6540. I was using the #K6136 which has the standard GM fullsize balljoint pattern. I think the press in cups look nicer. It took a total redesign of the jigs and the arms to get the tubes where I wanted to work with the cups but it was worth it. I also had to consider the demand for adjustable uppers for this model arm. Ive sold as many adjustable uppers for the 99-06 as the non adjustable. This took some angle changes to the tubes and so it was actually easier to just redesign the whole jig.

Im also redesigning the 99-06 lowers since the balljoint on these has changed as well. Ive gone to using a press in style balljoint designed for a Ford F-150. The bulky GM 4 bolt balljoint is big and expensive and does not make for a nice looking arm. The new press in style F-150 balljoint will clean up the look of the 99-06 lowers. This change has also made for a complete design change for the tubes as well because they now need to come out to a different place on the jig. The decision here was to totally redesign the lower jig as well. Pics to come as soon as I have a set done. Right now Im working on an adjustable lower set for a customer. This will not be a regular production offering but a custom order. I will post pics if the owner of the arms is cool with it. Look for pics of the production version as soon as I have some.

My moving of my shop is not going to take as long as I thought and I now have a place to build arms with more room than before. This is a temporary move but now I can get back to the daily builds.
