The control arms I might send them to Jason @ PA Racing, he told me he can make me some chrome-moly as well as the spindles, you can contact him I'm pretty sure he can make them, I also talk to TRZ but they told me they were real busy and didn't had the space at there shop as I told them I could take my truck to them, but like you said maybe its because of the low interest for our 99-06 trucks...

If you talk to them tell them I'm still interested...lol
If PA could make some spindles to accept camaro style hubs and brakes, I'd buy some for sure

Any steering column should work with some fabrication

Strong arms makes control arms.

Only thing I haven't been able to find is spindles. Somebody needs to make something that would allow the use of something like camaro style brakes. TRZ made control arms, spindles and all that for the 88-98 trucks but said there isn't enough interest for our trucks. I'm going to call and see what kind of interest it would take to come up with something. It won't be cheap, but it would be badass

...a spindle mod is in the works...

Why are camaro hubs more desirable?

I want a setup similar(not exactly the same) to this



Instead of this




Just gives the option to run smaller, lighter weight drag brakes.

That's exactly what I want Phantom, what I'm planning on doing and testing is to buy the TRZ s10 spindles, with the aluminum steering arms of course, the strange pro drag brakes and since I already have aftermarket control arms I can switch ball joint on the upper control arm to fit the s10 spindle, and on the bottom as you all know the ball joint is pointing down as it goes into the stock spindle from top to bottom, SO... on my lower control arms I can flip the ball joint and use a reamer to open up the trz spindle to fit my ball joint and that's IF I can't find a ball joint that can work before using the reamer, I already made some measurement and the control arms should almost stay the same, even if not, I'll set the ride height that I want and order the coil overs... after all that is done I'll still send the control arms to get them in chrome-moly and fully adjustable, lower and upper...

Well that's my future plans after I get it running...lol
