Default OK Dumb Question but need answer.

I have an '05 King Ranch SC I just replaced the front sway bar control arm links and found some more bushings bad. The truck has a 6 inch lift and there are two tubular (I would call "control arms") links that go from the frame to front axle. I can't find the proper nomenclature of these arms to order the correct replacement bushings. Anybody got a clue? Thanks

Pic? Nothing really goes from the frame to the axle. It's ether gonna be upper or lower control arms or a strut.

They are called Lateral torsion bars. I bought mine directly from Tough country, they were under $100 with bushings for the pair.

EDIT* I had to call them to order them. They are local to me so I just went and picked them up.

I'm pretty sure they aren't torsion bars

Looks like they added some radius arms.

What lift kit do you have?
