I'm hoping someone can help save me some time searching. As it seems to be from what I've found so far is that the aftermarket (longer/angled for lifted trucks) do not have the mounting provision for air suspension equipped trucks. Now I know the big thing for everyone is to remove the air suspension as it's prone to problems. Call me stubborn but for now I don't have any plans to switch to coil springs. Now that my truck is leveled and I've got 35's on order, I'd like to find a better control arm before I fall victim to a balljoint popping out of the control arm. Also wouldn't mind having a control arm that helps with alignment to make it a little easier for the alignment guy to get it in spec.

I dont have any experience with them, but research kryptonite upper control arms. Some of the features look promising. I know zones are popular here as well.

I don’t think Kryptonite has arms for the Ram trucks and nothing for the 1500s at all. Ball Joints for the 2500-3500 is all I have seen. But I may have missed something.

Zone doesn't say either way if their UCAs work have the necessary mounting holes to work with air ride trucks. I sent them an email the other day asking about it, I figure I'll give them some time to respond. I imagine I could simply drill and tap the UCA in the right location and mount the ball stud but that's a pricey gamble if it doesn't work.

I don't think you want aftermarket offset ucas unless your truck is stuck at it's highest setting permanently. They won't work for you below 2"
