They are 100% RE arms and yes, any leaf spring that is 2.5" wide will work.Originally Posted by BamaJosh
Thanks a ton guys. I have found a set of S10 ZR2 leaf springs. Will those work?

Are you guys sure this is an RE control arm setup? I've never seen anything like this from them. Been searching google looking for older systems and still nothing.Originally Posted by BamaJosh

Looks like an RE fixed superflex arm...

lose the coil spacers, lose the blocks lose the shocks, then buy shackle relocation brackets and doetsch tech shocks. Profit from a much better quality ride. All that height is doing nothing for you other than being tall and clumsy

Yeah I guess you guys are right, that lower one just wasn't matching up for the design they have had but it must be an older system.

That's what I was looking at because it all seems like it was cut and welded back together.Originally Posted by Boost Happy

Alright guys, my last question in here since you guys have been awesome at helping me define what lift I have. This is in regards to the front control arms. Are they safe for driving on the street? I don't plan on taking it offroad til I get this thing fixed right. But is it safe for street duty?

As long as you dont see any cracks or anything id say they are ok...
I dont understand why the uppers got cut and extended?
The lowers I can imagine the guy upped the lift and wanted to cheap out and just cut em and welded in new steel to the existing arms to make em work.
I would ditch em as soon as you could though for some quality arms... or long arms. Ditch your rear blocks ASAP too. You honestly might be better off loosing all of that suspension setup and dropping the cash on a good setup... I know that blows but that lift is really rigged together.

I found a guy on CL that is selling a set of leafs from a ZR2 for 50. Will also be ordering a shackle relocation. Will keep an eye out on some control arms and replace asap. Ya'll have been a ton of help!

If I get rid of the coil spring spacers, will the extended control arms hurt me? Also regarding the blocks in the back, I am going to put in bastard packs, will I still be able to keep the 33" tires I have now? I have some shaking in the front end that I am looking to get rid of and I think some of it may be due to the lift.
