Control arm options?

I can say the Carli regular arms are 1/2 inch longer than stock. I will measure mine this weekend , well that is if I remember while I am under there doing some other maintenance stuff but will try to get it done.
Might be worth a quick call to Carli's to get it straight from the horses mouth as opposed to me giving it a good shot while they are attached to the truck.
Also while it may make no difference and shouldn't I know on the 94-02's there were two different size bolts that could be had (aside from the two different size bolts from the upper and lower arms). I wouldn't think that would change the length any but I don't know for sure. On my truck they were the larger of the two choices.

Highbid, I hear you. Your point is not just a valid one it applies to every vendor who we deal with. The guarantee is only worth whatever stock the vendor places in keeping his word.

Btw I did look at Thuren and I don't think that they make a lift kit for my 99 2500. Could be wrong. Seems like you have to piece things together to build a kit and even then most of their parts are for 2003 and up 2500 and 3500, so slim.picking to even go the more expensive build your own option. Even when you are done no guarentee that you won't have rubbing with whatever you cobble together. Anyway that is the sense I got from looking at their site. Would love to hear anyone who has a pre-2003 truck running a thuren kit.
Calling Carli this morning to get measurements on their high clearance arms. If they are the same length then probably get the SJ kit minus the SJ arms ,using Carli arms instead.
