Control Arm
Do they make a longer control arm for a 2000 ford f-150 4x4, i recently installed a 3 inch lift and can see my controls arm pretty maxed out length wise, would a longer control even fix that ?

No. You either need to drop down to a 2" level or install a true lift kit, 4" being the most popular. The people that sell those 3" level kits should be bitch slapped for charging people to mess up their rides.

Good to know they did come out with a solution for the upper arm but 3" level is still a suspension and driveline killer (4wd). Eats up cv joints and their boots. Need to get the ENTIRE suspension moved, not just the upper control arm. Hence why they only recommend a 2" level max.

Damn straight, still tears stuff up when you lift 'em
Used to work on BLM trucks chasing poachers out in the desert
At least they had money to burn
Used to laugh,
Can't chase nobody with a broke CV joint
Slow the f down and use the radio cowboy

Best way is a true lift kit, moving ALL suspension/driveline components, then you won't tear anything up because of the lift, you're on your own when tumbleweeds attack lol.
