Control arms for lifted trucks

[Sean Buick 76]

You are onto something. Rough country sells a kit that basically allows for cranked T bars while correcting the geometry as much as they could. It’s a lot better than just cranking the bars.

I have the Rough Country upper arms on my truck with the 3" lift They came with a Moog ball joint that is angled outward so that it sits in it's central position rather than at the extreme of it's travel when lifted, they are also longer so you can still get the camber alignment within factory specs.

if some one has the rough country 6 inch lift could they see an improvement if they add the rough country ucas to their truck

No, the 6” lift relocates the control arms to maintain the proper ball joint angles. The Rough Country uca’s would have bad angles.

There are a few brands.
Protune Suspension (press in ball joint)
Skyjacker (C256A) (bolt in ball joint) (poly bushings)
RoughCountry steel or aluminum verison (press in ball joint)
Freedom OffRoad (press in ball joint)
Kryptonite poly bushing (bolt in ball joint)
I used Skyjacker before Kryptonite came out with there arm's

The best arms have to be the kryptonite with skyjacker arms second.the kryptonite arms do handle and take bumps better then the skyjacker but max out of camber mabye like .5 a degree less with the (ball joints under) then the skyjacker arms (i also never ran the ball joint under on the skyjacker arms).you can also run a ball joint spacer on either of them,this can help if your close to the bump stops. (pics labeled spacer running 2" ball joint spacer)
