Construction & Design:
The Rancho Adjustable Control Arm Kit is crafted from heavy-duty 2-inch outer diameter DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) steel tubing with a 0.188-inch wall thickness, providing exceptional strength and resistance to bending or fatigue. The forged ends enhance durability at critical mounting points, ensuring reliable performance even under harsh off-road conditions.
Rancho’s proprietary D2 bushings are a standout feature, engineered to be maintenance-free with a self-centering design and a PTFE liner that eliminates the need for greasing. This advanced bushing technology reduces NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) while maintaining articulation and suspension responsiveness.
The black powder-coat finish not only delivers a sleek appearance but also protects the control arms from corrosion caused by exposure to moisture, dirt, and road salts, extending the lifespan of the components.
Installation & Fitment:
The kit is designed for direct fitment on Jeep Wrangler models from 2007 to 2023, including the JK series from 2018. It supports both stock suspension setups and lifts up to 4 inches, making it versatile for a wide range of builds. Installation is simplified by the inclusion of two preassembled control arms, reducing assembly time and complexity.
No major modifications are required, and the adjustable feature allows for precise alignment of the pinion angle, which is critical for maintaining driveline integrity and preventing vibrations. This makes the Rancho kit suitable for both professional installers and experienced DIY enthusiasts.
What's Included:
