So that control arm looks very similar to the forged LCAs on the gmt400s. Have you got a side by side pic?

I could maybe get one. My 98 has forged LCA's , I will try to do that later this week. They do look very similar only known difference right now would be the shock mount holes do not line which everyone has commented on.

When am I not working?I received mail today! Thank you @Big T now get back to work
Those look like what you were looking for?
Gotta say that I just needed to pay it forward. Mr Marty twice sent me an IP to help address problems on the ‘94 Suburban and helped confirm the existing IP was bad. Paveltolz helped me remove a failed engine and install a new Optimizer 6.5. So many people have helped me here that I had to do something and you are the beneficiary. You will love the GMT-800 brake upgrade.

As far as I know the GMT800 LCAs don't have that bar across the "V" of the LCA, looks like BigT sent his extra pair of forged GMT400 lowers your way.
I have yet to drive my GMT800 swapped rig (still a project) but I was able to smush in my shocks to the existing mount on the 800 LCA but the shock does seem to slightly rub against the bump stop for the LCA. Keep your old LCA shock mounts for a template or to add to with a welded piece to move the mount further away from the frame so the shock can clear the bump stop
