upper/lower control arms?

i need to replace my upper control arms and lower ball joints. I know that camburg makes some good upper arms and i am considering those. But what about lower control arms? Does anyone make a good lower control arm that i can replace the old one with?
i do realize that i only need to replace the joint but i want a stronger arm,
Thanks for any help

for stronger lower control arms, you are generally looking at performance long travel kits, which will increase your front track width like 3-4'' per side. These kits are expensive too. Just stick with the stock lower control arms, unless you have the money, and don't mind doing your suspension lift again.

so there is no way to pair up a new set of lower control arms from a long travel kit with my fabtech steering knuckles?

no, unless you make them yourself.

why are you looking for strong lower control arms? what are you doing with your truck that could break the existing ones? honestly i havent heard of anyone even breaking the uppers let alone the lowers, they are massive.

i just wanted something different than everyone else. and i don't want to be replacing ball joints every so often.
i mean the lower arms are very strong but its just the joints i was thinking about mainly
thanks for the help by the way!
