Tuff country upper control arms

Recently I just installed the tuff country 2-4” lift UCA’s and just wanted to give a honest review for people like myself who were somewhat skeptical of them.

Overall I like them a lot, my old arms were getting beat up some, so I went with this as a lower cost option and they get the job done, truck drives pretty good with them. Only minor thing is that that they are a little stiff when you get to that full turn. But all in all I like the feel of them and I feel like I have a lot more control because of the slight stiffness they have. Driven roughly 1000 miles on them so far and they’re holding up great.

 

I've been running mine for about a year. I got the verison with the ball joints and have been lubricating it every other week. I've ran them with OME shocks and now running with king 2.5 extended travel coilovers. I don't have anything to compare it to other than the stock upper control arm and it's been an improvement. No issues so far.

 

That’s a sweet setup!

Me and you are in the same boat, I’ve only had the stock arms to compare. Definitely an upgrade.

 

Thanks, the reservoir mounts wouldn't mount right cous my arb bumper bracket is in the way that's why you see it cut up, I'll make it cleaner next time I have some free time.


For anyone considering these, the ball joint covers / boots for it are not very good, it might be a good idea to try to find a better one before installing.

 

I have about 5k on mine. Picked them up dirt cheap so gave them a shot. Was able to achieve 5 degrees of caster if need be just screwing around to see what the range is. As stated above the boots suck. Overall happy with them until its time for 35s and SPC arms. Definitely a good budget upgrade over stock.

 

Do these work with factory TRD wheels?

 

Yes

 

Happen to know how much caster they claim you’ll get back with them over stock?
