I'm confused by this. My 04 had the stamped rectangular ones. The OP has an 04. That is OEM for an 04. Are you simply saying newer models are tubular now?

The Forge is our watering hole

I live 90 miles east of Dallas, in Ben Wheeler. Out in the country the main roads are great but a lot of the county roads are a disaster. New stock arms are really cheap cost wise and will probably outlast your ownership.

Probably didn't want to have a different part. Unless the mounting on the frame is different.

I went with aftermarket arms because I have 2" taller front springs. The slightly longer arms moves the front axle back to stock.

I think you can pry it up.

exactly... that's what I did. Went with Thuren. My stock control arms were rusting through around the bushing.

My truck lived in salt for 18 winters. Plowed also.

I did everything including heat. They rust in the arm bushing and lock solid.

Might be track bar. When it's loose truck lurches sideways when hard braking.
