Bairs makes the new "stock style" trailing arms that a lot of Vendors use. They are made in the USA. Just thought I'd throw that info out there.
I asked them if they could sell me a raw (uncoated) set without the handbrake cable brackets welded in place as I wanted to relocate the bracket to the top to accommodate wider tires. They said sure....no problem.

As my mechanic would not permit me to tie up his lift for a couple of weeks waiting on my T/arms to be rebuilt. I spent a lot of time in researching the different Vendors offering rebuilt and "new" Trailing Arm Assemblies. I spoke to Bair's, 2 notable Vendors that advertise on Marketplace, Zip, and others. I took the time to call Dan at Van Steel, who was very gracious to discuss his process of rebuilding the TA assemblies. I was very impressed with him. Particularly, the fact that he did not blame me for taking advantage of free shipping at Top Flight. He would not match their deal. All those that I talked to seemed to be of good report. The deciding factor was the conversation with Dan and free shipping offered by Top Flight plus a few dollars off. They charged me a core charge (300.00 a side), refundable if I mailed the old TAA (on my dime) to Van Steel. Ultimately, do your due diligence, and be comfortable with your decision.
I used VTech many years ago for mine. They inspected them when they arrived and about the only parts I needed replaced was the arms and emergency brake works and the front bushings; rust and separation at the welds. Very happy with their work, very trustworthy I believe.
