About this part

Control Arm Drop Kit, fitment-checked

A drop bracket kit that lowers the control arm mounting points on 4WD Dodge and Ram trucks lifted 5 inches or more, bringing the arm angle back down for better ride quality and driveability. Part 342 needs minor drilling and works only with stock-length control arms, or adjustable arms set to stock length. On 1500 applications it fits Mega Cab models only.

Once a Ram sits 5 inches higher, the front control arms point uphill and ride quality goes with them. This kit drops the arm mounts to correct that angle. Coverage runs across 4WD Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 from 2003 through 2010 and the Ram-badged 1500, 2500, and 3500 that followed through 2013, with 1500 fitment limited to Mega Cab. Your control arms must be stock length, or adjustable arms set to stock length. Budget 2 to 3 hours and minor drilling; a downloadable installation guide is available.
