Default did ORE's have longer arms?

Looking at my g/f's truck vs mine seems her arms are about the same length and i have the skyjacker lift arms.....just curouis cause if i could get about 2 more inches of lift out of hers i would be happy cause she could clear my old 37's for sure

I don't think they are any different in length, however, I've never had a reason to go measure a non-ORE.

For reference, my LCA is 19" on bolts.

The parts manual does denote 3 different versions for the LCAs.

Lt. Duty Dodge 4wd = 1500
Med. Duty Dodge 4wd = 2500
HD Duty Dodge 4wd = 3500

I'm inferring the size.


The SJ arms should only be slightly longer, but less than an inch. You have 3" lift? I can't remember.



FYI -- Maybe you'd be interested in my buds front axle. Dodge Dana 60, Ford outers free spindle hubs, Warn Manual Locking Hubs, 35 spline Chromo outer shafts, VAC intermediate shaft replaced with single shaft, Rock Krawler suspension Kit (long arms) and rear shackle flip kit. He's selling it. PM me if serious.

edit: forgot to mention 5.13 r/p and ARB locker

There is different length control arms, and they all bolt up. I think the ORE trucks use the 2500 lower arms. Uppers are the same IIRC from a past thread or two. (a while ago, that I can't find).
