SPACER LEVEL KIT = STAR case 2014 Ram

[NYCruiser]

mine are stamped steel.

Check out this quote:
"Weight reduction is an often overlooked factor in mpg. A restructured frame is 30 pounds lighter than the 2012’s frame. New cross-members in the bed shed an additional seven pounds. The new bumper is four pounds lighter than it was in 2012. Aluminum control arms on the front end drop a little bit of weight and the most noticeable by the buyer is a 26-pound decrease by adding in an aluminum hood."

The UCA looks like stamped steel, the lower might be aluminum.

Strange because both my uppers and lowers are obviously aluminum. I mean like really silver looking aluminum. I'll try and get a pic tomorrow when its daylight. Are you sure your truck is a '13 and not a late '12?

Also found this:
Aluminum upper and lower control arms in the front suspension cut more weight, also improving handling, while an aluminum hood saves 26 pounds.

Mine has steel uppers as well. Mine is obviously a '13 8.4N, projectors etc

I have a 13' with stamped steel upper arms. Great looking UCAs from zone War Machine. Let us know how the install goes.

 

[NYCruiser]

So, I wonder if they switched the UCA's for '14? I'll get a pic tomorrow. I didn't realize they were different.

 

[boomer135]

What are your build dates? (should be on the door jam) I'm positive my UCA's are stamped steel. Now I am curious if something was changed for the later 13' models. I bought my 2013 Sport in December 2012, with a build date of Nov 2012

I show 2 sets on numbers on the stock UCA
68163961AD & 2652

To be complete honest the upper control arms are actually designed perfect compared to some. they allow for a pretty far droop most trucks with the lifts would have uca to strut bucket contact already. Now if they only designed the ball joint to support it.

this is true, titans hit with anything over 1.5 spacers and many hit with just 1.5

ill check my 13 after, I know some early 13's had the same gauge cluster as the 12's also, mines got the newer gauges and I thought aluminium lowers and uppers but ill double check, my buddy has an early 13 with the older gauges so Ill check his too

 

[shaftman_05]

I will try to look at my late '13 build date later to see of they have aluminum or steel. Do the aluminum arms give more flexibility?

Nice! Notice any pros or cons after the install? Worth the purchase?

The arms are about an inch longer than the stock ones and obviously greaseable ball joints
