My question is I put 3,in leveling kit onu 2004 1500 now my upper A arms are hitting shock mount/ coil bracket do new A arms angle different or stick out further so they don't hit? I have steering knuckles off a dodge 6 in lift and they are a lot taller can I put those on which will put where upper A arms connect more level and hopefully stop hitting shock mount, any advice?

They can make for a harsh ride, throw off your alignment, and cause CV angle issues. To go 3-4 inches you really need to look into a full kit that relocates everything downward, OR, a body lift.
