Is a long arm kit from Far From stock or dodge off-road better or is a replacement control arm kit ample. My truck is a 2005 5.9. Never used for extreme off-roading just ready for general 4x4 stuff and a daily driver. I tow occasionally and it’s leveled.

What is it that you’re wanting to do or accomplish?

The two you mentioned are not tops in the biz I can tell you that.

Well what’s the best replacement for control arms for longevity and the best handling.

Why replace control arms? It’s a full size truck, it doesn’t handle and never will

Just figured it was on the list of front end components to replace seeing as how everything else is not exactly the best and the truck is 16 years old.

So far I’ve done thuren torsion sway bar, synergy steering, new track bar bushings, and replaced the bearing on my steering brace. Next is likely to be free spin kit with ball and U joints. I figured some control arms where needed too.

My ‘03 is still on 100% stock components up front. It’s never been touched in 180k.

My ‘07 is sitting on a complete Carli Backcountry with the old Bilsteins (now ships with Fox shocks), full replacement rear leaf pack, and their longer control arms. I swapped the arms for tire clearance.
