Which upper control arm?

[RDHemi16]

I am getting ready to put supreme leveling spacers on my 2016 Ram 1500 2WD. My question is Rockauto has 2 different Mevotech control arm part numbers. One is GS251058 for 34.79 and another is CMS251058 for 59.79. Can someone tell me which ones are the ones they are using to replace the stocks? There is nothing wrong with my stock ones just wanted something stronger for the 2.5 inch spacers. Thanks for any info or advice.

I have Mevotech front upper control arms and ball joints and I haven’t had any issues with them since they were installed 6 months ago and I have a 4” lift and 35x12.5r17 tires. You’re going to hear some people say Mevotech is junk and doesn’t last. I’m impressed with mine for their cost. You might want to look at Core 4x4 tear control arms as they’re going to be better but more expensive. If you have to go with Mevotech then go with the more expensive set as the bushings are supposed to last longer and be a little stiffer.

I had a 2” spacer in with 100# wheel setup for two years with the OEM replacement. Bought them to have a forged arm with greasable ball joint and never had any issues. Some complain of ball joints failing at higher lifts, personally haven’t seen it.

Thanks for replys, I ordered the more expensive Mevotechs. Hopefully all I need.

I intend to replace mine with a pair of JBA Offroad ones when I do my leveling kit install.

I put on "Pro Tune Suspension" upper control arms. Not cheap but no noise and has zirk fittings.

Have a picture of those installed?

Core4x4 should be releasing an upper control arm pretty soon.

I’m happy with my decision to get the JBA. And just something to think about, you can get them powder coated for pretty cheap. I wasn’t a fan of the red for my truck.

Those don't appear to have any correction. Isn't correcting caster part of the appeal of the replacement arms?

What is your setup? Those JBAs look great. And red would be just fine on my Granite Grey Metallic.

Mines a 2wd, I have their spindles on front. Adjust fine with stock UCA, just want something more beefy.

I also have the same color truck as you, I think! I had them powder coated a semi gloss black. I have Fox 2.5’s with the coilover adjustment in the front and Fox 2.0 in the back. No lift in the back, but I have airbags for towing my toy hauler. And they work great.
