Control Arms How long should I get

PowerWagonP · Post by **PowerWagonP** » Thu Jun 02, 2016 10:05 pm

I was still trying to figure out my front end shimmy. Just jacked the truck up and couldn't believe the play in control arms side to side when I put a bar in there. I have a 06 stock springs with a 1" spacer. How much longer should I go? Does 1/2-5/8" longer sound about right. Also trying to decide which ones to get but don't want to spend $800+

No more than 1/2" or you run into a world of shit.

diffently no more than a 1/2" longer. and there are a bunch of good arms out there that arent 800 + dollars. look at DOR, metal cloack, do a google sreach just stay away from ebay arms.

I have a 07 with 1" spacer. I put the pure performance dual sport control arms on mine. Made it ride waaaaaaaay better, they were $500. Only problem is I could not tell you where i set them at, just kinda did it, they are adjustable.

I've got it narrowed down to Dodge Off road, pure performance or stock arms. I run 35's and don't rub so don't need anything too crazy. I was happy how it flexed with stock arms. Will the other 2 arms I mentioned give about the same flex as stock arms? Will ride improve much, sounds like it will

the pure performance dual sport arms are definitly more flex then the stock arms and the ride is very noticably better, the others i cannot speak for. the base line pure performance arms dont look like they would flex any better then stock if not worse. also keep in mind you want arms for a 3" lift, you already have 1.8 factory plus your 1" spacer

Great, The only reason i put the Pure Performance on it was because I "had" 20"s on it with a stupid offset. I was just getting my tire away from fender some. they havent been abused or anything, they came off about 2 years ago with only 45k miles on it, they are off an 07'

8LugTruckGear has a set of pure performance extended control arms for less than $400. I've been running them for almost 2 years, no issues.

Pure Performance. I still have a bad taste in my mouth about them, on what they did to ACE over a truck sell.

I will never buy anything from them.

I ended up ordering a set from Dodge Off Road. I went with the ones 1/2" longer and bent for tire clearance. I'm hoping these will make me like my truck again, tired of the shimmy/shaking but my bushings were pretty bad
