Looks like it to me. You could measure yours, then call them and ask for a measurement to be sure.
Is that price for one arm, or one pair?

Default RE: is this the right thing (control arm)

that is the price for 1. i was going to get some tube style ones but the cheapest i can find are $379 adjustables on ebay. all i need is 1. i guess i could go to a pick n pull and get one but i dunno. the reason i am asking is becasue everyone keeps calling it a control arm but this web site says trailing arm. does any one know a better solution for some non adjustable tube style?

That's kinds high. I am paying $270 for a set of four tubular Skyjacker arms, upper and lower pairs. That about $65 an arm. Like I mentioned to you on DTW, I would check the for sale ads, or post a new thread that you are looking for one stock control arm that someone might have laying around in their garage after they put on a lift or long arm kit. Otherwise, that appears to be the right arm if you want to pay that much. Might have to since you only need one. A tubular arm might look funny if you have only one on one side.

Control arms are also called trailing arms, and sometimes link arms.

the link you showed me on DTW was for 1500, i have a 2500 and i cant find anything on that site for the 2500. i dont know if it is any different. the other thing is they want you to measure and i dont want to frik that up, i cant believ no one make a set of tube arms prefabed for stock size...does skyjacker have arms on their site?

The only arms that I see from Skyjacker that are close are DLL23 for the lower, and DUL25 for the upper. They say for 2"-3" of lift though on the lower arm. A pair of those would run you $130 too. You could call them and see if they would sell you just one or not, but all their ditributors (like Summit) show them as a pair. You'd be better off with the one you posted above since it looks like it is the exact part you need, and you can buy it in a single so you wouldn't even need to touch the other side.

do you have a link for the skyjacker ones... i cant find them.. i wont replace just one if i get tube style, i'll do all four, but if i cant find a set for around 200 or somthin, i'll just replace that one with an oem style.

Here it is on Summit. Looks like in the upper arm, you can buy just one (DUL25-L), but that is not available in the lower arm.
