Sounds feasible to me as long as you position the studs correctly. Why do you want to upgrade the upper arms?

doing the front level spacers and links. other kits always on back order or more money for just the control arms already have the spacers and the links. rough country arms look factory too being they are alum. compared to others, they just don't have them with the ball studs included.

Have you researched doing this on a Ram 1500 with air suspension? Everything I've read says not to lift or level an air suspension truck using spacers. I leveled mine using leveling links. Simple, and a lot cheaper. I think it cost in the neighborhood of $50 to $75.

Yes. Using the spacers and new upper control arms allows the air suspension to keep the factory smooth ride and use of all off road settings
