It appears that they are different because they allow you to mount the barslower than the standard arms on the rear end hosing. Apparently this helps control wheel hop.

These are the same design as the southside machine lift bars

dont forget to replace the upper control arm bushings
they are located on the axle. if you havent done that already
you might have to take a torch and melt the oem bushings
out of there and replace them with the new ones. also
look in to a good set of adjustable rear shocks
like kyb agx series or tokico
