Default Front suspension suggestions and questions

Hi, I have a 2003 Ram 1500 Laramie 4WD 5.9 magnum quad cab. The front suspension is in ruff shape, I want to tear of the bandaid and replace it all. I’ve found parts from TRQ and Detroit Axle for my truck, but the reviews on the parts were garbage. When trying to search Moog or Mopar, I’m having a hard time finding anything. What brand would you recommend? I’m not racing it or beating it up, but I want some dependable parts. In some of the search parameters (Moogs web site for example), it does not list the 5.9. Does that matter for suspension parts? Is the 2003 Ram suspension universal for all engines or is it that they don’t have parts for the 5.9. Any help
is appreciated. Thanks.

Would the same as the 03 hemi.

I have one old stock moog (made in usa) upper control arm (and grease-able), leftover from my 04 1500. I have it on ebay, but could sell it direct for cheaper. If interested, email me. K7424 is the part number.

You may consider replacing the wheel bearings as well, easier when you have it all apart.

Just installed these Moog parts (got a steal from a private seller, 35$ for both )
Parts looking good, only minor downside is that the grease valve is screwed into some flimsy / thin material. But once tight it is good.
Will see how they are holding up. Greasing them regularly is the key I think.
