Suspension question: Control arm and camber bolt question?

[Victor Brill]

Hello everyone.

Have a quick question; Not that long ago, I took my truck into the shop to have Bilstein 5100's installed on my 2011 1500 and they told me they weren't able to do it because the bolts on my my lower control arm was seized(Truck is from a good amount of snow so I'm not surprised.) I have decided to do an overhaul and replace both front lower and upper control arms on both sides plus stabilizer bar links along with the Bilsteins. My main question is, there is a decent chance I may have to cut the bolts on at least one of the control arms to get it off and was looking at replacing the bolts for all control arms. I am thinking MOOG for the lowers and Mevotech for the uppers. On Rockauto, it says it comes with mounting hardware but does that mean the camber bolts to install? Was looking at the camber bolts on rockauto to replace all of the existing ones. I just wanted to make sure if these are the correct bolts? Being the only option, would the link below fit on both lower and upper? Is that overkill?

Was contemplating on replacing my coil springs but a lot of people have mentioned that I probably don't need to do that. Was curious everyone's thoughts there? My truck has 130K on it. Also, just curious if there is anything else I should look to replace on the suspension while I am doing all of this, especially some of the small stuff like mounts or bushings?

Thank you for any assistance or suggestions.

Get all your bolts from Benny @AllMoparParts.com
if your coil springs are rusted or in bad shape you could get new ones or opt for something like the eibach pro truck kit. I would reach out the @Nick@GotExhaust to figure out what type of lift level you are wanting to do because you may benefit from a UCA that has correcting angles like the Zone UCA's. you may want to do the rear bilstein set up coil springs and shocks to match the front.
