Our control arms are a great addition to any solid axle Dodge Ram! These arms are much stronger than the OEM arms, and have more clearance for turning bigger tires.

Unlike OEM, our bushings have a good amount of deflection, and are not prone to failure with increased suspension travel.

Fitment:

  • Works on trucks with 0" to 3.5" of lift

Details:

  • Arms are 1/2" longer length, allowing the use of 37" tires, even with wheel offsets close to factory specs 
  • Lower arms are built from high strength 1.5"x3/8" wall 1026 DOM tube
  • Upper arms are a solid alloy bar
  • Wide flange joints, to make sure bolt torque has no problem keeping the arms locked in place, even under heavy abuse
  • Bends in lower arms do not cross center to retain impact strength.
  • Machined in house proprietary self centering joints to prevent the arms from rocking to one side and rubbing the frame/axle.
  • 17-4 Stainless Steel center pivots.
  • Stainless steel center pivots prevent rust seizing of the bolts and make for easy removal.
  • Joints are easy to grease and maintain. No special tools are required it is a very easy and inexpensive job to perform a rebuild.
  • Arms are texture blasted before powder-coating, to prevent impact chipping of the coating.
  • Main joint bushings are a moderate durometer high quality PTMEG Polyurethane for great wear resistance and vibration control.

We often get people who insist they need adjustable control arms. About the only time this is true, is if you are trying to build a custom 4" or so lift, or if you want to run this style arm (short arms) on taller 4" to 6" lifts or so. Problem with both of these scenarios is explained below:

  • With 0-3" of lift, you can only make the control arms 1/2" longer than stock. If you make them ANY longer, even 1/8", you will most likely hit the coil mount on the axle against the frame when the suspension cycles. Our arms are already the longest they can be with 0-3" of lift.
  • With over 4" of lift, short arms degrade handling and ride quality a MASSIVE amount. Instead of investing in expensive adjustable short arms, put that money into purchasing long arms, and build the truck the proper way.
  • Lifts between the 4" and 6" height requires all the same drop components. This means that with a 4" lift you have to limit bump travel 3". This means you increase your bump travel 1" more than stock. Massive waste of potential. For reference, our 3" lifts do not restrict bump travel, so you increase bump travel the full 3" when you lift 3".

    Centered my front axle

    Purchased thuren 3 inch coils for a 2011 3500 6.7 megacab. These coils brought my axle back into the correct geometry with 35 inch tires. I can honestly say my truck doesnt rub anymore at full lock.

    Super high end parts and pretty easy install, only thing that caused an issue was the notorious camber bolts rusting together. I would recommend buying extras ahead of time. Install some on a 2008 ram 3500 SRW

    Awesome Product

    Can't even begin to compare them with the stock arms. Absolute beast unit. Stopped the fender rubbing on my 35's. Have had installed for several months now and have zero complaints.

    A must have

    Finally bit the bullet and bought them. My oem ones had to be cut out, the bushings were completely sized to the bolts, they had basically 0 movement in them. These got rid of a lot of strange tendency’s my truck had, pulling weird, braking weird, control arms cause a lot of strange feelings and it’s hard to really pin point what the issue is. Now that I have these with Thurens 3” coils it really is night and day difference, I can push up and down on the truck and physically see the control arms articulating. My buddy has an early 4th gen, same set up as me minus the control arms and the ride of mine is much better than his. The arms are pricey, but if you want to utilize the coils to their true advantage just spend the money. 100% worth it
