Hello, I'm new to the forums. I used to have a 1999 Silverado 1500 and have recently picked up a 2001 Silverado 1500. I've been in the lowered car scene, but have never had a lifted truck. I bought this truck as a project and to tinker with. I bought a 4 inch Rough County lift for it as well everything for the steering system, short of the gear box. I'd like to replace the control arms while I am in in there, though I am not sure if there are benefits any particular brands. I am mostly considering Moogs upper and lower arms (Upper #CK80942, Lower Left # RK620381, Lower Right #RK620380). They appear to be a better than stock replacement.

My question is are the Moog control arms ok for a 4 inch lift? or will I require different control arms? Ride quality is not of major importance, the truck is primarily a learning experience / something to have fun with. It will be used like a truck for occasional hauling and towing. I appreciate the insight!

(I apologize if this has been asked for. I've done some google searches and searched the forum briefly but didn't not seem to find the answer to my question, though I may have typed in the incorrect keywords)

They will work fine with the lift under normal conditions, moog is just oem parts not much better quality than factory. If you’re wanting somthing to improve your control arms tho look into the cognito or similar control arms. Depending on if its 4wd or not the adjustable ball joints will come in handy for your alignment guys.

People run factory control arms with clapped out ball joints with 6in lifts so anything you do is an improvement compaired to some people

I apologize for getting back to you over a month later, but thank you very much for the information! I was hesitant to go with the adjustable ball joints, but now that appears to be the better option. Thanks again!
