what are these things???

these big ugly things that hang under the truck, (see them good when lifted) fastens to the front axle and about 3' long running parallel with the truck. I'm sure its some type of a brace but i want new ones and dont know what to look for. Some lifted trucks looks like theirs are made like a ladder? After you stop laughing, any help would be great..thanks.. Herb

I believe you are referring to the radius arms.

And yes, 4--link lift kits do look sweet!!

Radius arms. Those are the main items that keep your front axle located under your truck. Yes they do look silly when lifted. A 4 link makes those go away.
