Overview:

The Fabtech 3-inch Upper Control Arm System with Performance Shocks is a premium suspension upgrade designed specifically for the 2019 to 2021 Ram 1500 Rebel. This lift kit provides a balanced 3-inch front and rear lift, allowing for the installation of 35-inch tires while maintaining excellent ride quality both on and off-road. Engineered for durability and performance, this system enhances your truck’s stance and off-road capability without compromising daily drivability.

Fabtech’s design focuses on delivering a smooth, bind-free suspension travel and full steering lock, ensuring no loss of turning radius. This kit is ideal for Ram 1500 owners seeking a mild lift that improves ground clearance and suspension strength while preserving factory-like handling characteristics.

Key Features:

This comprehensive lift system combines robust components and thoughtful engineering to enhance your Ram 1500’s suspension performance:

• 3-inch front and rear lift for improved ground clearance and aggressive stance
• Heavy-duty tubular steel upper control arms with large, durable ball joints for increased suspension strength
• Steel spacer for coilover shock top mount and coil spring collar for proper suspension travel without bind
• Fabtech twin-tube performance shocks tuned for a smooth highway ride and capable off-road damping
• Maintains full steering lock-to-lock without loss of turning radius
• Compatible with 35x12.50R18 and 35x12.50R20 tires on 18x9 or 20x9 wheels with 5-inch backspacing (minor trimming required)
• Preserves factory ride quality with rear coil spring spacer lift
• Substantial upgrade over factory plastic upper control arms and light-duty ball joints
• Designed for aggressive off-road use without sacrificing daily driving comfort

Construction & Design:

Fabtech’s upper control arms are constructed from high-strength tubular steel, replacing the factory plastic arms and light-duty ball joints with a rugged, durable design built to withstand demanding off-road conditions. The large ball joints provide enhanced articulation and longevity, reducing the risk of premature wear or failure.

The front suspension lift is achieved through a combination of a steel spacer mounted atop the factory coilover shock and a coil spring collar positioned beneath the coil spring. This dual-spacer setup ensures a full 3-inch lift while maintaining proper suspension geometry and travel, eliminating binding issues during suspension compression and steering movement.

Rear lift is accomplished with a coil spring spacer that raises the vehicle while preserving the factory stance and ride comfort. Fabtech’s performance shocks feature a twin-tube design optimized for a balance of highway smoothness and off-road control, delivering reliable damping performance across diverse terrain.

Installation & Fitment:

The Fabtech 3-inch Upper Control Arm System is engineered for straightforward installation with bolt-on components that utilize factory mounting points. While minor trimming of the wheel well may be necessary to accommodate larger 35-inch tires on specified wheel sizes, the kit does not require extensive modifications or cutting of factory parts.

Note that this lift system is not compatible with factory air suspension and will not fit 2019 Ram 1500 Classic models. It is designed exclusively for the Ram 1500 Rebel from 2019 through 2021.

• Fabtech tubular steel upper control arms with heavy-duty ball joints
