I would like to show my latest creation - low budjet and longer control arms for my lifted 2 Gen.
At first I cut off the rubber isolators from new control arms (they were originally made for 2008 Ram), becasue Gen3 control arm lenght is not correct for my lift (3 inch lift)
I also mesured my original axel geometry and I decide to move my axle 20 mm forward, I also made drawing with Autocad to see how much axle transfer to forward will change the control arm lenght- now my control arms are 19 mm or 3/4 inch longer (also the tire/wheel is in the center of the fender)
Also the arms are little bit offset to give more tire clearance.
Now my 37 tires will clear and I do not have to affraid to tire/body contact.
Here are the pictures:
