The Carli Suspension Billet High Clearance Extended Control Arms CS-DBCA-03-CLR will allow you to install up to 37" tires on your Dodge Ram 2500/3500 4WD. This kit includes upper and lower control arms that help reposition the axle fore/aft, with the track bar providing lateral support to reduce axle shift. When lifting the front of a straight-axle truck, the axle shifts away from the frame, causing it to be off-center unless the correct linkages are used. You're essentially pushing the axle further away from the frame at ride height when lifting the front end of a straight axle truck. Since the travel is not perfectly straight, the new ride height will cause the front axle to be off-center unless the proper linkages are addressed.
For pickups with a 2.5"-3" front lift, the axle will move approximately 3/4" to the driver's side and 1/2" toward the cab. While the stock control arms and track bar may still function well in this configuration, it's a good idea to use an adjustable track bar to re-center the axle and an extended control arm set to correct its travel path. These control arms are manufactured from 6061 Billet aluminum and are machined in-house to tight tolerances, providing superior tire clearance, durability, and precision.
What sets these control arms apart is the spherical bearing joints. Unlike typical arms that use hat bushings, which are known to fail under lateral axle movement, these spherical joints allow for greater lateral misalignment while maintaining smooth up/down and fore/aft articulation. The center of each joint is made from a 17-4 Stainless ball center. This ball is surrounded by proprietary bushings and joint washers, all preloaded into the cup and secured with a snap-ring. A Zerk fitting makes for easy maintenance.
Through years of development, the design of the joints has been engineered for maximum strength and durability. The stainless ball centers are highly corrosion-resistant, and the oversized mating surfaces ensure a stronger connection with the frame and axle mounts. In partnership with Energy Suspension, custom red bushings were designed that feature grease channels for easy lubrication and improved joint articulation, compared to the older, harder-to-grease designs.
