I was on the phone with ready lift and looking into the control arm for the 2018 and 2019 and ready lift it's the same one. I've also seen a motofab 2.5 spacer from a 2018 used on a 2019 and it's a direct fit. So if that's the case than we should be able to use dirt king upper control arms with king shocks and what not from the 2018 ram. Just a theory but I'm sure its 90% true. Same goes for the back since a shock is just a shock...nothing special to it.

Many of the pieces seem to be the same. I don't know about all of them though. CV joints, spindles, etc. If it was all the same I am sure somebody would have already thrown a 4th gen lift kit on a 5th gen. I know the struts are different as somebody posted them already side by side and by a bilstein 5100 showing they would not work to level it. The 2019 strut is longer than the 4th gens.

I'm looking for the same answer. I understand the 19 control arm combined with a spacer stresses the joint.. works for a while.. Can't find any aftermarket struts without buying a whole kit- that I dont want.

As far as I know there are not any aftermarket struts yet. Fox makes the ones for the Mopar 2" lift but I do not believe they are sold outside of that kit.
