12/1/2025 - Our Polyurethane supplier dropped the ball, and still has not gotten us our past due order of the Poly Races for these arms. We're scrambling, and hope to have the order here soon, but for now we can't give a shipping timeline, so we are cutting off ordering until we know more. Thanks! - Don

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".

Included:

  • Assembled Upper Control Arms (x2)
  • Assembled Lower Control Arms (x2)
  • Applicable Hardware

    2007 Ram 3500 3" level

    This kit fixed all the issues with my truck. I can't believe I drove it for 400k miles wth stock arms and spacers! My truck has a service bed on it and 3700 lbs of tools/fuel on 35" tires. The longer control arms allow to shallower angle for the amount of lift giving it a better ride, my concerns have the softer spring causing body roll, did not cause any issues and rides much better. It also re-centered the front axle and stopped the interference I was having with my fender flares and my tires. I went with Bilstien 5100s because of it being a work truck I wanted stiffer shocks. This kit has give my truck more stability and better handling as well as a better ride! In fact I was impressed enough. I'm going to order all the front end components for my 2001 3500 as well!

    Never Disappointed

    Love my 3 gen mega cab....even better love the mega + Thuren upgrade options available for these old trucks. Couldn't be happier with my lastest purchase. The clearance control arms made a huge improvement in the ride quality in the front end.

    No more rub!

    I was still running stock arms on my 07 Power Wagon with 35s. I pretty much have up on lock to lock steering. Install was easy, minus cutting the old lower arms at the cam bolts. These Thuren arms are beefy and have me full steering back! Perfect fit and we'll made...I regret waiting this long.
