Are you serious?

Fellow Purple Dodge, I would search up some of Viper37's posts. IIRC he had a 2'' lift on his 2WD Ram.

 

Yeah, I'm serious. To my knowledge they don't. The 2X4 models have a wishbone A-arm suspension, not control arms. Control arms are the longitudinal bars (2 per side) mounted to the frame that locate the front axle on 4X4 models.

 

He is right. Here is a 2nd gen lift. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...IIPS8Qan3ojcAw

 

A-arm IS a control arm.

 

Whattt??
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_arm

What's a 2x4 Ram? A 2x4 is a piece of wood.

A 4x2 refers to a vehicle that are 4 wheeled, two driven. Or in the case of most pickup trucks, 4X2 and 4X1.

 

Most people I know refer to them as A-arms so as not to confuse them with a live axle 4X4, since those models have no A-arms. An A-arm is specific, whereas a control arm could be an A-arm or it could be the straight bars we 4X4 owners know as control arms. If someone tells me control arm, I instictively think they are talking about a 4X4. If they say A-arm I know they mean a 4X2.

 

Don't be such a nitpicker, Mr. Viper.

 

What?

 

Ok, so you know that control arm could also mean a-arm. So how is control arm specific to a link-attached axle? Wouldnt a specific for a live link axle be links? Hence where we get 4-link from? DUH. We dont have do get specific though. Call it what you want, but you cant make the assumption that everyone calls a frickin control arm a a-arm.

 

Amen. An A-arm is a type of control arm.
