Very nice and sturdy UCA. Must do upgrade. Even if you don’t go with rough country, upgrade it. Much of RAM OEM suspension parts are so chintzy. Only wish it had fittings for brake lines and abs wires. But not a big deal, just zip tie it.

Well made control arm. It fit on my 2019 RAM 1500 Classic 2WD with the 2” leveling spring from RC. It took care of the improper ball joint angle of the stock arm. No more locking out going over a speed bump. Direct fit. Make sure you grease the ball joint before driving. I would recommend extending the brake lines as well as at full droop with wheel turned, the brake line is tight.

I installed these UCA with the 3" loaded struts. Truck rides great, however, I was sent a much smaller nut than what was needed for the ball joint. Took me about 2 hours to find what I needed, which was a 14x2mm pitch, and I was sent a 12x1.5mm. Overall, good quality, just would say to pay more attention when packaging things.

Doesn’t state it would, but they fit my 2006 just fine. See the pics to compare to factory. No clearance issues. Angle of the ball joint is far better. Most other knock offs say they fit the same years so I tried and they worked fine. Easy to put it, no bending brackets or anything as some mention. Price is great for forged aluminum UCAs with ball joints and bushings. Love em!

Truck rides great now. I’ve had my truck leveled on Bilstein 5100s for years and needed to do upper control arms. Install was as simple as you could get. These slipped right in place. Night and day difference after installing these wish I had put these in years ago.

I paid $219 for an opened box “like new” and besides some greasy fingerprints, that’s exactly what i received. Does not appear to have been installed and it appears to come with the correct hardware (two nuts and two spacers). Nuts appear to be the correct size. Installed them in the truck and everything went smooth. Funny thing is everyone saying they had to force them in, i think the mounting points on their frame is bent, because i noticed mine was, but that is not the product’s fault! Mine slide right in my 2011 ram 1500 SLT. Only thing that i disliked is the instructions do not provide torque specs. It should be around 40ftlbs for my truck.

Great quality control arms.Had to use a little 'love' to get them in because the bracket on the frame is a tight fit.Make sure you grease em before you install. I seen a few people make that mistake.Loved the vehicle specific product catalog.... would of preferred a rough country sticker.A buddy got a rough country sticker for ordering N3 shocks... which were half the price...

In March I put a 6" full strut Rough Country suspension lift in my 2015 Ram 1500. I had 35s on the truck but wanted bigger tires so I got 37s then decided to do a 2.5" front level and 2.5" rear spacers bringing my total lift to 8.5" and 37" tires. I stay local with my truck but I hated the ride after doing the extra 2.5" I was not happy at all to the point I was going to pull it out and go with 2" body lift to get that nice ride back. I decided I'd try these RC UCA's and see if it helped because I had concerns about the stock upper ball joints failing due to the angle. The job took me aprox 15 min each side and as soon as I hit my first bump I know I smiled. For a truck as big as mine is I couldn't be happier with the ride now. These things are perfect and they look great to and definitely safer then using the stock set up if your planning on adding a lift or a level. If your unsure if you want to pull the trigger or not on these don't overthink it and just do it. Best ad on I coulda done for my truck!

Definitely an upgrade over the stock UCA. But in my case the RC UCA's didn't fit very well at all. The were 1/4" too wide so I had to pry the mounts on truck open to fit. The spacer rings provided also then had zero chance of fitting. But I got them in and torqued up and they work fine for their intended purpose. I have 2 inch daystar strut spacer on top of bilstein 6112's set at 1.2 (3.2" of lift)

Did a 2 inch leveling Rough Country springs. Seemed a bit higher, read some other reviews found out the 4wd upper control arm will work . It is worth to change the upper control arm when doing a 2 or 3 inch leveling.

So far, so good. I installed these last week along with a full set of Bilstein lift struts and shocks. My 2014 Ram 1500 has 92k on it, so the oem stuff was getting a little tired and I wanted to put in a small lift as well.Initial thoughts, these arms feel great. Stiffer and more controlled steering than the stamped steel factory units. The quality looks good, nice fit and finish and the bushings look OEM.The install was straight forward and they sit correct with the lift installed. Less worried about my front end with the new 35" tires with these in. No rubbing either.So far, yes I would recommend these if you are looking to add a lift or leveling kit.

Very beefy compared to stock. Side by side you can see the ball joint angle is perfect for levelled trucks. Serviceable ball joint is a big plus. Time will tell how long they last. And for everyone who said they needed instruction to figure out what side they go.One is stamped L for left side and the other is stamped R for right side. Really really easy install.
