Heavy Duty StrengthHigh Lifter's new heavy duty control arms add more support than factory. Our upper and lower arms are made with the same material for added strength, so they can withstand the abuse applied during a typical ride. High Lifter arms are constructed out of 1.5" DOM with .120 wall tubing. This is a 50% increase in size and a 70% increase in steel thickness for added durability and strength.

Built in AdjustabilityThe lower arms also feature an adjustability component in the bushing collars to eliminate premature wearing that can come from the addition of lift kits, portals, or larger tires. When the kit is set to the factory position, you have 3/8" of adjustability camber in and out. Heat treated and plated adjustable bushing collars allow you to be confident in the strength you're adding to your ride. This kit comes packaged and pre-adjusted to the factory position, and factory bushings and caps should be used for installation.

Increased Ground ClearanceWe maximized ground clearance by strategically arching the lower control arm with double bends. This unique design allowed us to get an additional 1.75" of ground clearance to avoid impacting those nasty trail obstacles. These bends maintain the factory geometry, which helps reduce wear on components like axles and tie rods. Our forward arms allow you to run larger tires without a suspension lift. We've improved the upper control arm by repositioning the sway bar tab. This will reduce the extreme angles places on the sway bar links and reduce wear.

Reinforced Ball Joints BracketsPortals and large tires apply torque that can distort the ball joint bracket, leading to failure of the arms. With over 130% increase in the ball joint mounting area, we are helping to prevent breakdown or "egging" of the mounting bracket.

Tire Fitment: Up to 35" with lift and forward armsOur tire fitment guide is a general fitment and is in no way guaranteed. Tires and lifts vary by manufacture and tire fitment can be affected by other modifications such as, but not limited to, wheel offset, actual tire diameter and actual tire width. Always verify your brand of tires, lift, and other modifications prior to making a buying decision.

Optional Preinstalled Ball JointsHigh Lifter's service team uses a hydraulic press to install the ball joint with the correct pressure and alignment, also making sure the clip is fully seated and secured. Purchasing control arms with the ball joints already installed adds to easy installation and prevents damage due to improper installation, which is not covered by High Lifter's Lifetime Warranty.The ball joints preinstalled in this kit are BJC-2 and BJC-3.
