Stock upper control arms limit suspension geometry the moment you add lift, creating ball joint angles that accelerate wear and compromise handling on the trail. Rough Country's forged aluminum upper control arms correct that geometry specifically for 3.5-inch lifted 2024-2026 Ranger 4WD trucks, restoring proper suspension kinematics while adding significant strength over factory stamped steel arms.
One-piece forged aluminum construction. Each arm starts as a single forging, eliminating the welded joints that create stress concentration points in fabricated designs. The forging process aligns the grain structure of the aluminum with the load path of the arm, producing a component that handles impacts and torsional stress without flex or failure. The result is a lighter arm than steel with higher structural integrity than a welded assembly.
High-performance POM ball joints built for lifted use. The ball joints feature oversized ball diameters and a low-friction POM race that reduces metal-to-metal contact throughout the full range of motion. A fully greaseable design lets you service the joint on a regular maintenance interval, extending service life significantly compared to sealed factory units. OEM-style rubber bushings at the frame end absorb vibration and keep cabin noise low during daily driving.
Corrected ball joint angle for 3.5-inch lift. These arms are engineered specifically for a 3.5-inch suspension lift, not adapted from a universal design. The geometry correction restores proper caster, reduces camber deviation through suspension travel, and keeps the ball joint operating within its designed range rather than at the edge of its travel.
Available in two finishes. Choose raw aluminum for a clean, understated look or powder-coated red for a bold contrast against the suspension components.
Product Benefits
- Forged Aluminum Build: One-piece forging delivers superior strength-to-weight ratio over stamped steel or welded fabrications.
- Weld-Free Construction: No welded joints means no stress risers or weak points under hard off-road use.
- Corrected Geometry: Ball joint angle engineered for 3.5-inch lift to maintain proper suspension travel and handling.
- POM Ball Joints: Low-friction race material reduces wear and extends service intervals.
- Fully Greaseable: Ball joints accept grease fittings for easy maintenance and long service life.
- OEM-Style Rubber Bushings: Quiet ride quality and reduced NVH compared to spherical bearing alternatives.
- Finish Options: Available in raw aluminum or powder-coated red to suit your build.
- Bolt-On Installation: Designed for home installation in approximately 3-4 hours with standard tools.
- Limited Lifetime Replacement Warranty: Covered against structural and workmanship defects.
Note: Fits 2024-2026 Ranger 4WD models with 3.5 inches of suspension lift only. Does not fit Raptor models. Ball joints must be greased prior to use. A wheel alignment is required after installation.
About Rough Country: Rough Country designs and manufactures lift kits, suspension components, and off-road accessories for trucks and SUVs.
