Mevotech Rear Control arms

[hunterdan]

My 2016 has a bad case of wheel hop when getting on it. Yeah, I've thought about taking it to the dealer to see what they say, but they'll likely say there's nothing wrong. Its bad enough that when I do a burnout, the whole truck shakes, violently. Maybe when I take it in for a recall I'll have them check it out. But, either way. Does anyone have any experience with the rear control arms from Mevotech, particularly their supreme line. These arms look much beefier than factory, and I'm wondering if the bushings are stouter too. For the price, less than $60 each, I was thinking about just installing them and seeing if it makes a difference. Side note, my truck has 20,000 miles on it, and Its done this since I got it at 16000 miles. The rental I had while it was in for the fender flare work, didn't hop anywhere near as bad. Mine will hop whether its wet or dry. I have 3.92's if it makes a difference.

Dont know about the mevo's but Core 4x4 is making a name for themselves . I would check them out.

Those Core 4x4 arms look to be really nice but the Mevos look like a decent upgrade over stock. There is a fellow Ram owner who recently put the Mevos on his well worn ‘09.........search Autoedits on u toob.

The core stuff looks amazing, but I can't justify the cost.

I installed the Core lower control arms and my wheel hop disappeared. I agree their not the cheapest however when you compare their price against the price of new gears and labor to rebuild your rear differential it makes it a little easier to digest. The Core's are much stronger and heavier than stock. They weigh about 20lbs. each. I bought them from Moe's Performance, a preferred vendor on this forum.

I emailed mevotech and the response I got was that the bushings were similar to OEM. I'm going to have the dealer check it out when I go for a recall/s. If they don't find anything, then looks like I'll be upgrading them down the line. Since the CORE's are pricey, which would be the better ones to replace first, upper or lower?
