So that's what you got it zinc plated for from Thuren direct?

Not to change the thread, but what would be a better alternative to the Carli Control Arms. Is there another company that would be decent and priced?

Don Thuren has his Radius arms. I think they are going for around $1000. Because they are nearly twice as long as the factory arms the ride is improved and the design virtually eliminates the chance of death wobble, even with wore out steering components.

imho, radius arms are a big change from just some different control arms.

I wont dispute the cost may be about the same. Install may be a bit more for the radius arms.

I am hearing rumors of control arms fro diff manufactures.

What size are the wheels under your truck, backspacing, offset etc? Great looking rig, the leveling kit makes a huge difference with the stance, thats what I want to set mine up like. I know the beaches your talking about, I'm actually heading down there in the mid of Sept and I'd like to get my truck setup before I go, but don't think I have enough time.

Awesome rig.

Firemansdodge,

KORE makes control arms as well. They are more affordably priced than you what's been mentioned. Very high quality.

Moto Metal 951s in 17x8, forget the backspacing/offset but they only make them in one backspacing/offset in this size so their webpage should tell you.

I'll find it later.

Beautiful lookin truck. I can't wait till I can afford a real lift for my truck. For now though, I will have to go with the spacer kit, till I can save my pennies for a real lift.
