New to Me SMB Express

Looks nice, real nice! I’d be interested in more info on those upper control arms if you have a second. Part numbers or a site link?

I found the TTX arms for Express but none that specify they are for lifted vans.

They are actually pretty well built- I jsut ordered the Timberline Hi-Steer kit with the truck tie rod ends as well. With the lift/bigger tires I could feel a difference in the angle so felt it was the best thing.

Yea good thanks. I'll be interested to hear how the Timberline Kit works for you. I have some upgraded beefier tie rod ends from Quigley which were an improvement. They don't list them on their site but they offer them.


Did you change out your knuckles or are they the original ones from Quigley?

Original- all I did was put new brakes on.. It also has a torn CV boot but that will have to wait for now..

[WhitH]

Got it. Let us know if you can how alignement goes once you get the new upper arms installed. I’ve heard different things about whether or not new knuckles are needed to help with angles but those arms will hopefully help.

As Whit said, looks nice, real nice.

BTW there’s an upgraded cv axle that’s not much more expensive and allows for more angles of flex and it has a yolk type slide in it for articulation up and down. Timberline knows about them but they can be purchased from a number of sights as well for not much more money than a stock replacement. Just look up early 2000 Chevy Silverado 2500 front cv axle upgrade.
