Aftermarket Control Arms

Well in my quest of getting rid of the Skyjacker junk, I found out I need a set of control arms. Was looking for a set 1/2" longer to help with the Carli starter 3" kit. DTprofab has some for a 98-2002. Im assuming earlier models (like mine) have a smaller/larger bolt? Also came across a company caller 4wheelfab in Kansas. They offer a set of custom length CAs for $199. Very tempted. Does anyone have any experience with this company. I know I can get them from Kore/Carli/others, but a grand is not in the budget. I have even thought of just getting some stockers.. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated

I bought a set of control arms from that oufit (4wheelfab) and have been very happy with them. Just normal driving highway and dirt roads. They were made to get the axle recentered compensating for the 2 inch lift pucks the previous owner had installed. Firmer ride than stock units, even able to reuse all but one of the mounting bolts

I just installed the 4wheelfab arms on my truck. I'm very happy so far, just street driving.

I twisted a lower control arm ,and found how much oem cost ($168-194)each. So I just ordered a set for $224.00 shipped from 4wheel fab. with lifetime warranty.
