Factory upper control arms limit suspension travel and ball joint articulation when you add lift to your 2021-2026 Bronco. Rough Country's forged aluminum upper control arms correct those geometry compromises, pairing a one-piece forged construction with oversized POM ball joints to give lifted Broncos the strength and range of motion the stock arms cannot deliver. Designed specifically for rigs running 2.5 to 3.5 inches of lift, these arms restore proper suspension geometry and add long-term durability for trail and street use.
One-piece forged aluminum construction. The forged, single-piece design eliminates the welded seams and stress risers that weaken fabricated arms over time. Forging aligns the grain structure of the aluminum along the arm's load path, producing a component that absorbs trail impacts without cracking at joints or heat-affected zones. The result is a lighter, stronger arm compared to stamped-steel or welded alternatives.
Oversized POM ball joints with full greasability. The included ball joints use a POM (polyoxymethylene) ball race that reduces friction and wear significantly compared to standard metal-on-metal designs. Greater articulation range means the suspension can cycle through rough terrain without binding, and the grease fitting lets you service the joint at regular intervals to maintain smooth operation and extend service life.
OEM-style rubber bushings for road manners. Rubber bushings at the frame mounting points replicate factory compliance, keeping road noise and vibration at bay when the Bronco is on pavement. That balance between on-road comfort and off-road capability means these arms suit daily drivers just as well as weekend trail rigs.
Bolt-on installation with no fabrication. The arms mount directly to the factory control arm locations and require no cutting, welding, or permanent modification to the chassis. Installation completes in 1 to 2 hours with standard hand tools, making this a realistic garage project for any competent DIY installer.
