I was looking for some heavy-duty uppers for my lifted 4x4. I can find some, but they say 2wd only. But when i look at say rock-auto and some other parts places the stock control arm is listed for both 2 and 4wd. Am I missing something here or are they the same?

3rd gen 2wd through 2004 has different p/n's for left & right (52106577AB, 52106576AB); oddly enough the same year 4wd just uses the left p/n (52106577AB). Things get interesting for 2005 because it's the same p/n for both 2wd & 4wd and both left & right (52106577AE). Clear as mud, right lol? When I rebuilt my front suspension the UCAs I used had the same p/n.

So, from what you are saying is that since I am looking for some new better then factory UCA'S for my 05 Ram 1500 4x4 for when I have the lift done that I can use 2wheel drive ones?

Found these on E-bay I know it says two wheel drive but they(2wd&4wd) share the same part number. What do you think?
