Carli Suspension Ram Extended Control Arms - CS-CA-MS16-94

In a market abundant with hat-bushing and crush sleeve equipped arms, our spherical bearing arms are leaps ahead of the competition. The problem is in the substantial lateral shift of the axle thanks to the track-bar design. Although this is perfectly operable when the factory control arms and track bar are in good condition, we recommend the purchase of an adjustable track bar to shift the axle back toward the passenger side and provide a stronger link with less deflection for the lifted application, and a set of extended control arms to shift the axle forward to its new center of travel.The construction of these arms starts with 0.120 Box Steel mated to in-house machined joint-cups. Comprising this link system are upper and lower control arms to hold the axle fore/aft while the track bar serves as the lateral link to minimize lateral shift.When lifting the front end of a straight axle truck, you're essentially pushing the axle further away from the frame at ride-height. This is a non issue for a standard 3-piece hat bushing. This side to side movement falls outside the operating range of hat bushings meant for a linear load effectively hot-spotting and egging out the bushing hole as they bind when the axle articulates.The answer? It travels up and down and back and forth. The 1994-2012 Ram 2500/3500 utilizes a 5-Link front suspension. As described above, the travel of the ram's front axle is non linear. The mild-steel center sections are welded inboard of center to offset the link as far from the tire as possible for optimal tire clearance.We pride ourselves on our joints. Three inches of front lift equates to an axle shifted toward the driver's side and back toward the cab . A spherical joint design allowing far more lateral misalignment in addition to th 98.5-02 Ram 2500/3500 4X4 ;Includes 4 Arms Pictured, 2 Upper, 2 Lower; Re-centers front axle on 3 Suspension Systems; Box 0.120 wall mild steel construction; Arm centers welded off-center for tire clearance; 35 Tire Fitment (9 Wide Wheel, 5.75 BS); Fits 14mm upper/16mm lower hardware Factory bolt shank diameter; MUST measure control arm bolts on truck to ensure correction selection;California Residents: WARNING As the travel is not perfectly linear, the new ride height will set the front axle off-center unless the proper linkages are addressed.The systems we design for these trucks range from 2.5-3 of front lift.
