Construction & Design:

Rancho’s Front Upper Adjustable Control Arms are crafted from heavy-duty 0.188-inch DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) wall tubing, providing exceptional strength and durability to withstand off-road stresses and daily driving demands. The 1.25-inch diameter bars are engineered with forged ends to ensure a secure and robust connection to the vehicle’s suspension components.

The kit incorporates Rancho’s proprietary D2 bushings, which utilize a PTFE liner inside the internal bushing. This design acts as a built-in lubricant, eliminating the need for regular greasing and reducing wear over time. The bushings also offer high articulation, allowing for better suspension movement and improved ride comfort without sacrificing durability.

A black powder-coat finish protects the control arms from corrosion, extending their lifespan even in harsh weather and off-road environments.
