1994 Z71 Front Lower Control Arm Bumper
In Regards to a 1994 Z71 (short bed regular cab)
I am desperately trying to find a front lower control arm bumper assembly (OEM original part number 15658262). This part has been discontinued as you may or may not know and I have not been able to find a replacement on Energy Suspension, Moog or Dorman. From my EXTENSIVE research I understand that it is 50MM. LMC has them for the standard 4x4 but not for the Z71 but I am not able to find these anywhere else besides on LMC and they are crazy expensive! surely they are sourcing these from somewhere. I can not find any reason that the standard 4x4 would not work for the Z71's but I may be wrong? From what I understand the only thing different on suspension between a standard 4x4 and Z71 is the shocks?
Please note that I have done a 2.5" - 3" lift on the truck and am doing a full restoration on it which would make me think that I might be able to go up a size in MM with a different bumper?
My questions are this....
1. Has anyone replaced these and what did you replace them with? Part number / brand if you did?
2. Since I did do a 2.5" - 3" lift on the truck, can I not go up a size. Maybe part number 15592548 or 15835667?
3. Anything on this would help!! PLEASE!!
