Parts Now Available for ’88-’98 Chevy Trucks

IHC Suspension 3-inch Lowering Control Arms

IHC’s 3-inch lowering upper and lower control arms for ‘88-’98 C1500 narrow the track width ¾ of an inch and include new ball joints and shorter sway bar links with OEM size bushings. This front control arm kit keeps the front shocks in place or pairs with factory replacement front shocks. If you want to lower your truck more than 3 inches up front, you will need to use IHC’s 2-inch front lowering coil springs with a 1-inch isolator for a 4- to 5-inch front drop. All IHC suspension parts are fiber laser cut, CNC bent, and robotically welded for precise quality.
