Control arm question?

Are the upper control arms the same through the different chassis?

Basically is a 1/2 ton upper the same as a 1 ton or 3/4 ton

Thanks

The upper arms should be the same, but you may find a difference in the shaft/bushings. I converted my 3/4 to 1/2 ton suspension, & didnt mess with the upper arm or shaft(just swapped the ball joints). the lower arms are for sure different , due to the hole size for the balljoint. its been a while, but as memory has it the upper arms 10-30 series are the same.....the shaft is beefier on the 20 & 30 series tho. hope that helps some....crazyL
