I have a 2002 ram 1500 4wd with a 5 or 6 in suspension lift kit and I was wondering about a front end rebuild, all new bushings and bearings, and ball joints, but I was wondering if the lift kit uses OEM control arms, because from the looks of it it seems like the main thing it changes with these other lift kits is the wheel bearing assembly. The new lift kits have no control arms it's just the wheel hub assembly and sway bar links and tie rods. So I'm assuming they use OEM control arms, I just want to be sure before I spend 500+ on a kit that doesn't work. Thanks for the help.

 

Who made your lift kit?

 

I'm not sure the truck was lifted in like 2006 by down east off-road, my mom is the one who did it and she doesn't remember, I do know that the front cross member is red. That's about all I know, also it came with rancho shocks but I can't find a rancho lift for that truck?

 

Can you call the shop that did the work, and ask 'em? Granted, its been a minute since the did it...... but, they *might* still have records.

 

I try to call them, I really think it uses same control arms because new lift kits don't have them

 

That's generally the case... makes the kit less expensive....

 

So I assume that means it uses the OEM arms?

 

It should..... Can check the ones that are on there, see if there is a part number stamped on 'em somewhere.

 

The lower control arm only has one number and it's 06421

 

All I get on that are tire pressure sensors..... (of which, one variation is indeed for dodge trucks. ) I would be tempted to buy stock parts locally, and see if they fit.... if they don't, easy returns.
