Default 1997 1500 control arms

Anyone know what after market control arms that will bolt right up.

i believe on 97 upper bolts are 12 mm and lower 14.

Metalcloak says 14 top and 14 mm bottom so top bolts would be loose

stryker says 14 and 16.

I was looking at non adjustable if possible.
I think the best luck I would have with a direct bolt in would be DOR .

any suggestions.

These work fine on my '96 Ram 2500 4x4 - https://www.spohn.net/shop/1994-1999-Dodge-Ram-4x4/

You can also check eBay, too.
