Well I just got done installling a Hellbent Steel 2" leveling kit, Bilstien shock absorbers, and the drop bracket kit for the anti sway bar. I would like to run 35" Toyo M/Ts and I think I will need longer Control Arms to re-center the front wheels. So my question is where is the best, most economical (cheapest) place to buy control arms that are longer to center the wheels?

Just curious, how far off center are your wheels? Are you having rubbing issues?

I'm not sure where to buy "cheap" longer control arms. But you might want to check out Tuff Country. I put their 4" lift in a few years ago for well under $1k, I can't imagine the control arms being overly expensive. http://www.tuffcountry.com/

Well there should be no problem finding them. Cheap may be the problem

I run 35's with the same lift you've got.... but here you go. TopGunCustomz sells custom length arms for about $250....

My friend just had the Lorenz arms installed on his '07. VERY BEEFY units. He beats the crap out of his truck in Baja so they'll get a good test.

Thanks for all the great info! Maybe I should have been more specific... I meant economical (we're on a budget) this should get me started. The front wheels need to be pushed forward about 2 inches to be centered in the wheel well. Thanks again.

2" is a bit extreme for just doing a leveling kit.

I'm not sure if you can push the front end that far forward, there's too many parts connected to it to let that happen (sway bar and drag link come to mind). I don't think I'd go further than 1" forward....

Most are just 1/2" longer on the lowers to keep steering geometries back close to spec.

Sorry I have been in the Hospital this past week (my wife has our baby boy on Monday and he had to be in the NICU) I was wrong I just went of of memory. It looks like if the control arms were between 1/2" to 5/8" longer it would put the tires back to center. Thanks for all the responses.

I got a set of Black Ops Diesel control arms that were 5/8" longer from 8-Lug. They did the job perfectly and the price was very reasonable.

Be careful about pushing the axle too far forward as it will rub up against the steering stuff.
