4th gen control arms fit a 3rd gen

Will a 2010 Ram 2500 4X4 upper and lower control arm fit up to a 2003 2500 4X4 ? Anyone know for sure ? Same exact length ?
Thanks in advance for the help

The lengths are the same but the 2010+ lower control arm bolt at the axle is 18mm instead of 16mm on the 03-09 trucks.

Thanks Skyd Ram
The larger bolts, are these the eccentric cam bolts you are referring to ?
Those are the ones closer to the front axle. How did you find out the older
arms fit ?
Thanks again

Yes,
The caster adjustment cam bolts are 18mm on the 4th Gens. The only things that are different on the 2010+ trucks are those bolts, the front bolts on the leafs springs are now 18mm, and they have a few changes to the swaybar end links.

Thanks Man
So it sounds like I just need to order the larger cam bolts. Wonder if I need to drill out the bracket holes to fit the larger 18mm bolts ? Also is the cam lobe
identical and fit in the bracket cup ?
Thanks
