I have been wondering the same thing. With Jeeps, dealer replacement control arm bushings are around $15 or $20 each. Brand new aftermarket arms can be bought for under $15 INCLUDING bushings! I didn't think anyone would have them like this for a Ram, but it would sure be nice...

Thanks for the replies! When my jeep gc needed new control arms, they were about 150 each from the *******. That got me really worried about the prices for the dodge truck parts, but they were actually less. The uppers turned out to be ok still, but the lower arms were junk. The bushings in one side were rattling around in the arm as if the hole expanded or the bushing shrank. That made me decide not to go with just new bushings. An aftermarket poly bushing kit can be had on ebay for about 100, but I'm not a big fan of most aftermarket stuff. I can get wholesale prices at the ******* and the lower arms turned out to only be 81 each with bushings. I just went that route and all's well.
