Hey all new to the site and this is my first post. I have a complete Air Ride Technologies front kit for a one ton SRW and I have been thinking about changing it to a 1/2 ton 5 lug setup and was wondering if I can still use the ART control arms and switch to a 1/2 ton spindle or is there more to it? I plan to switch out the rear so no issues there but the front is where I have questions. I looked around but couldn't find any definite answers. Thanks for your help

Their website doesn't show 1 ton arms, I was not aware of them making such a thing.

They make them for just about every year Chevy 1ton made.

If you truck is a 90-up 1 ton then the lower control arm is the same but the upper is different from the 1/2ton.

It's a 99. So if I use the ART 1 ton lower arms and change the uppers to the 1/2 ton. Can I then just run a 1/2 ton lowered spindle, rotor, and calipers etc.?
