Default Front end suspension
Would u be able to change out the control arms with the truck on the ground or would it be easier to do the job with the truck on a lift

The job would be easiest when done on a lift. You will not be able to do the job without at least jacking up each side to relieve pressure/weight off the control arm to remove it.

Any job is best on a lift if you have one.

When I did my CAs, I jacked up the frame behind the mounts and let the axle sag. I also did lift coils.
