Upper Control Arms for 2-3.5", 4" & 6" Lifts suits Chev 1500 (2019+) / GMC 1500 (2019+) by BDS Suspension
Increase wheel travel by upgrading the stock OE upper control arms (UCA) on your 2019-2026 Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra 1500 to BDS performance. Specially designed for leveled and lifted applications, these arms are built from high-strength 1.5-inch OD x .120-wall steel tubing and feature an indexed ball joint cup to correct the ball joint positioning.
These UCAs can be used with BDS lift kits and other lift and leveling kits on the market. The frame mounting ends feature durometer-specific rubber bushings and premium quality ball joints for smooth, quiet operation, and superior durability compared to arms featuring uniballs, poly bushings or heims.
