Description
A fabricated 4130 chromoly upper control arm kit for the Gen 2 Ford F-150 Raptor, with a 1.25" uniball at the spindle and 7/8" FK rod ends at the frame. CAD designed with minor updates to caster and suspension geometry to improve driving feel and strength.
The factory upper arm uses a ball joint and fixed bushings, so caster and camber are set by Ford. The rod ends on this arm let you adjust alignment in the upper arm itself and dial in the caster and camber you want for your truck.
What Is In The Kit
- 2 fabricated upper arms with 1.25" uniball assembly and 7/8" rod ends at the frame
- 1 hardware kit with all needed spacers, 12 point grade 8 bolts and Gen 2 size upper ball joint adapters
Why Replace The Upper Arm
The upper arm sets two of the angles that decide how the truck drives: caster, which affects straight-line stability and steering return, and camber, which affects how the tire meets the ground. With the factory arm those are fixed.
This kit replaces the upper ball joint connection with a 1.25" uniball and mounts the arm to the frame on adjustable 7/8" rod ends, so alignment becomes something you set rather than something you live with. The geometry has also been updated slightly for caster and driving feel.
How It Is Built
- 4130 chromoly, MIG welded in rigid fixtures for consistent quality and fitment
- FK rod ends and uniballs
- 1.25" uniball replaces the upper ball joint connection
- 7/8" FK rod ends at the frame for caster and camber adjustment
- 17-4 stainless steel spacers at the pivots to keep corrosion down
- Designed to work with the factory spindle
Fitment
This listing is for the 2017–2018 Gen 2 Ford F-150 Raptor, with the factory spindle.
It also works with fixed pivot lower arm setups.
Questions
Can I adjust alignment with these arms?
Yes. The 7/8" rod ends at the frame let you set caster and camber in the upper arm.
Do I need a new spindle?
No. The kit is designed to work with the factory spindle, and the hardware kit includes Gen 2 size upper ball joint adapters.
Does it work with a fixed pivot lower arm?
Yes. The kit works with fixed pivot lower arm setups.
What hardware is included?
All needed spacers, 12 point grade 8 bolts and the Gen 2 size upper ball joint adapters.
