thanks heaps fellas!! By the measurements i have got, theres bugga all difference compared to the GQ's lengths. Im about to do a coil conversion in the rear of my sierra.. just trying to source arms which will be tough enough and long enough to do the job. Reckon i'll go with the 80 series arms though. There will be a add in the "wanted" section if anyone can help!! Thanks again! :armsup:
