K3168M

Overview:

The Fabtech 3-inch Stealth Upper Control Arm System is engineered specifically for the 2019 to 2021 Ram 1500 Rebel, delivering a balanced lift that enhances both on-road comfort and off-road capability. Designed to accommodate 35-inch tires, this lift kit provides a commanding stance without compromising ride quality or suspension performance. Fabtech’s solution is ideal for Ram owners seeking a reliable, durable upgrade that improves ground clearance and suspension strength while maintaining factory-like handling characteristics.

This system includes heavy-duty tubular steel upper control arms with robust ball joints, replacing the factory plastic arms and light-duty joints. The result is a suspension setup that resists binding throughout travel and allows full steering lock without reducing turning radius, ensuring confident maneuverability in all conditions.

Key Features:

Fabtech’s 3-inch Stealth Upper Control Arm System offers a comprehensive package designed for durability and performance:

• 3-inch front and rear lift for improved ground clearance and tire fitment
• Heavy-duty tubular steel upper control arms with large ball joints for enhanced strength
• Steel spacer for coilover shock top mount and coil spring collar for precise front lift
• Rear coil spring spacer to maintain factory stance and ride quality
• Fabtech Stealth sealed monotube shocks with Nitrocarb piston rods for corrosion resistance and durability
• Compatible with 35x12.50R18 and 35x12.50R20 tires on 18x9 or 20x9 wheels with 5" backspacing (minor trimming required)
• Maintains full suspension travel and steering articulation without bind
• Designed for aggressive off-road use while preserving on-road comfort

Construction & Design:

Fabtech’s upper control arms are constructed from high-strength tubular steel, replacing the factory plastic arms to provide superior durability and resistance to off-road stresses. The large, heavy-duty ball joints are engineered to withstand demanding terrain and extended suspension travel without failure or binding. The front 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, delivering a precise 3-inch lift while maintaining proper suspension geometry.

The rear suspension lift utilizes a coil spring spacer that elevates the vehicle without negatively impacting ride quality or factory suspension characteristics. Fabtech’s Stealth shocks feature a sealed monotube design with Nitrocarb-treated piston rods, offering excellent corrosion resistance and protection against rock chips, ensuring long-lasting performance both on and off the highway.

Installation & Fitment:

This lift kit is designed for straightforward installation on 2019 to 2021 Ram 1500 Rebel models. It does not fit Ram 1500 Classic models or vehicles equipped with factory air suspension. Minor trimming of the wheel well may be required to accommodate larger 35-inch tires on specified wheel sizes. The kit is not compatible with OEM wheels and tires, so aftermarket wheels with the recommended specifications are necessary to ensure proper fitment and clearance.

Fabtech’s engineers have rigorously tested the system to ensure no binding occurs throughout suspension travel and steering operation, allowing full lock-to-lock steering without loss of turning radius. This ensures that the vehicle maintains excellent maneuverability despite the lift.

What's Included:

• Fabtech tubular steel upper control arms with heavy-duty ball joints
• Steel spacer for coilover shock top mount
• Coil spring collar for front suspension lift
• Rear coil spring spacer
• Fabtech Stealth sealed monotube shocks with Nitrocarb piston rods
• All necessary hardware for installation

Ideal For:

This lift kit is perfect for Ram 1500 Rebel owners who want to upgrade their truck for enhanced off-road performance without sacrificing daily drivability. It suits enthusiasts looking to run larger 35-inch tires for improved traction and ground clearance while maintaining a smooth, controlled ride on highways and rough terrain alike. The system is also ideal for those seeking a subtle yet aggressive stance with reliable, long-lasting suspension components engineered for demanding conditions.
