Hey guys. I'm new to the forum but I've spent some time searching threads and have not found an answer. So heres my question. I have a 4 inch trail master lift on my Ram 2500 and I'm running 35 toyo mts. Does anyone know of upper control arms that will replace my stock ones. I want to move my axle forward enough to squeeze 37s on.

You can't just move the top you have to move top and bottom the same amount.

Im already running a 4 inch lift. my truck has stock upper control arms but it has long lower control arms from the lift. so my original question is can i just put longer upper control arms in to adjust the position of the axle.

if i'm not mistaken that will throw off the pinion angle so in order to maintain the correct geometry you need to change them both..
