Default Best Upgraded control arms for stability on a lifted 4x4 2nd Gen?

Was looking at these which they are right up the alley of the price I wanted to spend(less if anyone has any recommendations). Dont want to spend anymore than $400 and these are $200 for a pair excluding shipping and tax. What do you guys think? Should I just get a cheaper control arm for both the upper and lower locations? https://www.spohn.net/shop/2000-2002-Dodge-Ram-4x4/Boxed-Front-Upper-Control-Arms-2000-2002-Dodge-Ram-4x4-1500-2500-3500.html?expand=1#description

That's just the uppers. Still gonna need lowers, or it really won't make that much difference. With all of 'em, probably gonna go over your 400 bucks though. At one time, Spohn made some really quality stuff, rumor has it, there quality has suffered some of late, but, I have no direct experience with that.

Why do you want to replace your control arms? Just for the lift??

Yea I know they have the lower ones on there too. The ones that are on are from the factory 20 years ago and they're getting extremely rusty especially where they mount to. I have a feeling that when they come off a lot of the control arm mounting bracket is gonna come off with them. Plus yea I think it'll help the front end a lot with some new ones.

I installed Stryker control arms on my '01 2500. They're working very well. They offer them for four different lift heights.
