Control Arms???

Im gonna step dowm from a 4.5" Skyjacker lift to maybe Kore..Cali...???springs and was wondering what CAs to go with. Im looking for a good ride(i.e. alot softer than the kidney buster I have going now) Still need to clear 35s but im sure with a 2.5/3" spring it wont be a problem. Thanks to all that have the great tips that make me keep this money pit!

Don Thuren at thuren fabrication makes some nice control arms for the 3-5" lift range. I have a set of his old bushing types and am very happy with em. Really stout.
Don is really good about working with customers who have questions or ideas on mods. He usually gets back to me the same day if I have a question or quote request.

I would go with radius arms. The difference in the ride is huge and you will never have a problem with DW.

check these out: http://www.dtprofab.com/DT_DODGE%202.htm

They make a version for out trucks. If you look at my sig you will see them listed.

I read something awhile back about the ford guys wanting to go to dual arms versus radius.. I wonder if this whole thing is about the grass being greener on the other side, or if theres a real benefit.
