2nd Gen Dodge Control Arms
 

Does anyone have aftermarket Control arms , i ahve been talking to all the leaders in the market , i just cannot justify $700 to move my tires forwards 1/2 inch someone help me out here

i wanted to do the same,because of my leveling kit.i ended up finding a skyjacker lift kit that came with them for around that price.it had new spring's for the front and a add a leaf for the rear IIRC.it had an option to get shock's also.i might go that route in the future

I would think you could have them made locally for way less, just get the bushing kit from HD Fabrication, they are a site sponsor, and those are listed for less than $20 a piece. Then gut some tube and weld it all together, finish grind if you want and shoot some paint. I saw a set somewhere on the internet that was made just like that, except they had another piece of tubing sleaving the main piece in the middle. If that sounds good to You let me know, because I am looking to start my own little welding/fab shop on the side. If you have any questons about me just ask Mr. McCabe, he knows me. Good luck.

I priced out buildin a set of my own heavy duty adjustable arms in a past post on the site someplace and it was gonna come out to about $200 for the parts and pieces needed to make them heavy duty and adjustable.

i dont want adjustable ones just 1/2" to 1" anything over 1" requires 3rd gen trackbar upgrade because the trackbar will hit the axle.

why should we have to reinvent the wheel on this , this should of been address 100 times over by now , $700 for 4 pipes and 8 bushing there outta there minds

You should be able to go to any local, quality fab shop and have a set made, I wouldn't think they would take maybe more that 2 or 3 hours of labor, plus the parts, maybe another $150-$200 for the materials, tube is expensive!

I can make them for you if need be, will def be cheaper than 700.

Back when my Dodge was a street truck I built my own extended arms (3/4'' extended) to keep my 38's out of the fender. I used 1 1/4'' OD 1/4'' wall DOM tubing and Ballistic bushings from Ballistic Fab. The Ballistic Joints are even better and you can just tighten them up when they get sloppy, rebuild kits are only 15-20 bucks iirc.....in the long run I'd say they are cheaper than running a poly bushing.

Let me know if you're interested. I might have a thread on them over on pavement sucks....I'll check for you :tu:

Should only really take 2 hrs tops, you're just doing 8 notches and 8 welds, wire wheel then primer. Tubing should be under $150, joints are the costly part of all this.

start making these and selling them i need a set

you can have someone lengthen the stocker's,if you really want to cheap out.

anybody got a line on some nice heim joint's

Lorenz told me that anything over 1/2 inch longer control arms and The coil buckets will collide with parts of the frame at full compression.

I have the KORE extended Bump Stops but im not planing on full spring compression
