Default 4th gen control arms fit a 3rd gen

Will a 2010 Ram 2500 4X4 upper and lower control arms fit up to a 2003 2500 4X4 ? Anyone else know for sure ?

Thanks

Don't know for sure (sorry), but I doubt it.

The '06-08 3rd gen UCAs don't even work on the earlier 3rd gens, so I would say odds are slim to none without serious modification.

As said, doubt it. Why would you want to? What are you trying to do or accomplish?

Remember I'm referring to the control arms not the A arms on the 2WD Rams.
I'm pretty sure the upper and lower control arms are identical from 03 thru 09 on the 4X4 Rams 2500/3500.

Not sure about the 2010 and up 4X4 Rams 2500/3500's

I'm considering this because my control arms are 8 yrs old and the rubber is gotta be worn out which might be contributing to my wandering issue. Plus
and can get a set pretty cheap from a friend if they fit properly. He has a 2010 2500 4X4 and he replaced everything on his front end with after market
stuff and runs a 6" lift with longer control arms.

Thank you

Im pretty sure they do, look up carli suspension and their kits fit 03-11 2500/3500.

I originally missed the 2500 part...

For a 2500 4x4:
According to RockAuto.com, '10 and '03 have different part numbers, and the pics look different as well.
I would still say that the answer is "no."

02-05 and 06-08 have different UCAs. Now something after market and made differently may fit all those years.

If your buddy has them laying around the best bet is to get one and physically see. Shoot on ford super duties, the 2011 whole front hood, fenders, grill etc will fit on a 99. Part numbers are completely different but they fit. Also, don't even think about going to the dealer to ask them, they can't even tell you what floor mats to get unless they have a VIN.
