These control arm kits are designed for correcting caster and pinion angle on Dodge trucks that have been leveled or lifted. Kits include extended, fixed length, lower control arms or adjustable lower control arms, adjustable upper control arms, and stepped cam bolt eliminators designed exclusively for our Dual Durometer Bushings (DDB). Fixed length lower control arms are recommended for use with common leveling kits, while adjustable lower control arms are recommended for 3+” of lift or custom applications. Stepped cam bolt eliminators are included to eliminate the factory cam bolts and move all caster adjustability to the control arms.
