Everyone that has responded to you has given you the correct and honest truth, but you don’t seem to be listening. They do NOT make NEW LCA’s for K-Series gmt400’s. You also indicated that a C3500 LCA is compatible with a K3500 and then asked for an example of a C3500 spring,which I provided. @454cid pointed this out, C/K LCA’s are different.

There are folks who say that certain 4WD Astro van lower control arms can be fitted to 4WD GMT400s, and they're available "new" in the aftermarket.

Others have claimed that the Astro arms are not listed for GMT400s for a reason; there's some subtle difference (ball joint angle has been mentioned.)

If you just have to have "new" lower arms, the Astro is your only choice. The info is available on this site, there's at least one long thread, and probably more. Good luck.

Do you know if that would effect caster I know mine wasn’t to spec before the arm broke

I don’t need you to be a jerk just bc I want to find new parts and have been learning throughout this experience I’ve been going off what I know and that doesn’t always mean I think I’m correct
Just get off here bc you don’t want your help, thanks.

 

[Ebrogan05]

no one until now straight up said they don’t make new ones for these trucks so sorry I didn’t just assume

Post #4 which you ignored.
Then your dumb comment implying coil springs don’t exist for a C3500, I posted pictures(post #10) that clearly debunked that. That was help too, but you obviously only want the answers you want. I guess that didn’t help either.
Your off to a great start here…bub

Junkyard is really your only option.
