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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArms are 1\/2\" longer length, allowing the use of 37\" tires, even with wheel offsets close to factory specs. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWorks on truck with no lift, or up to 3.5\" of lift.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLower arms are built from high strength 1.5\"x3\/8\" wall 1026 DOM tube.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUpper arms are solid alloy bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWide flange joints, to make sure bolt torque has no problem keeping the arms locked in place, even under heavy abuse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncludes new Grade 8 hardware for upper arm frame mounting location. Use OEM hardware for the other mounting points.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBend in lower arms do not cross center, to retain impact strength.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMachined in house proprietary SELF CENTERING joints, to prevent the arms from rocking to one side and rubbing the frame\/axle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e17-4 Stainless Steel center pivots.17-4 Stainless is about as hard as a Grade 8 bolt, so these joints will not crush like other brand arms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStainless steel center pivots prevent rust-seizing of the bolts, for easy removal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJoints are easy to grease and maintain, and when the day comes to rebuild, no special tools are required it is a very easy inexpensive job.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArms are texture blasted before powdercoating, to prevent impact chipping of the coating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMain joint bushings are a moderate durometer high quality PTMEG Polyurethane, for great wear resistance, and great vibration control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e       Few notes below, on adjustable control arms and control arm length. We often get people that 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 discussed below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLifts 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\".\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Thuren","offers":[{"title":"2003-2009","offer_id":47155290505414,"sku":"TF-CA-0313","price":880.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2010-2013","offer_id":47155290538182,"sku":"TF-CA-0313","price":880.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/9680\/6854\/files\/thuren-std-control-arms-03-13-dodge-ram-2500-3500_01_1080x_d963f0b7-ce6f-446d-96fe-da9b0ab0fa9f.jpg?v=1788909953","url":"https:\/\/fullthrottlewrenches.com\/products\/high-clearance-control-arms-ram-2500-2010-2013","provider":"Full Throttle Wrenches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
