    Does anybody know if the trailing arms from the Wbody Store are just plain stock replacements or an upgrade? They are only 50 bucks, so....

    Has anybody ever used there lateral arms?
    I don't know what the hell I'm doin.

    Just get the dorman trailing arms, they are better than the stock stamped steel design and cheaper than wbody store.

    The GP GXP trailing arms are pretty beefy. Can order them though a dealership or GMPartsDirect.

    pretty much anything will be an upgrade over stock. The ones on wbodystore.com are definitley an upgrade though. Go to youtube and look for trailing arm install video by A1Auto. It will give you an idea of the standard replacement bar sites sell for gps.
