Just want to make shure im reinstalling new control arms correctly.

I cannot speak from experience but looking at the pictures, that C20 LCA looks a whole lot longer than the C10 version. If that's the case, there's your problem...

Posts #2 and #4 provide the information comparing c10 and c20 control arms.

On my work computer I can read them. The phone, no way

I did a quick search on the specs of both c10 and c20 LCA's but nothing to compare against. Pretty sure the c20s are longer and the bolt pattern at the cross member is probably different too, besides everything else different about them. Uppers have different cross shafts and maybe different ball joints.

Omg there is another 2wd lift goin on?
Granted I spend ZERO time lookin at 2wds..maybe im missin some good action though.??

Ehh. Who am I kidding anyway? Couldn't care less.

Why are you shimming the upper control arms at this point? Have you actually had both control arms and spindle installed had the weight of the truck on the wheels to check camber? Or supported the lower ball joint on a floor jack and checked camber at the rotor. Just trying to establish how you know how much shim you need. The offset control arm shafts are a common fix for older cars that can't get camber spec without a ton of shims. It's actually not an uncommon problem on older vehicles. The frame has moved some probably. Also compare the lengths of the control arms you removed vs. The ones you installed center of bushings to center of balljoint measurements.

Get back to work! Lol

This is work! Lol I suppose I could crawl under the C20 we have out back to measure and compare to one of our several C10 LCAs. But it's hot...

It only works if it's stock LCA's. Tubular CA's seem to have different dimensions from stock.
