Restore Alignment Improve Handling
When lifting your Jeep, factory control arms fail to maintain proper caster—leading to unstable steering and excessive tire wear. Our adjustable Front Upper Control Arms restore proper geometry, ensuring your Jeep tracks straight, feels stable at speed, and handles confidently both on and off the trail.
Two-Stage Powder Coating
Each control arm undergoes a two-stage powder coating process for maximum durability and corrosion resistance. Zinc primer base coat – Protects against rust and environmental wear. Durable top coat – Available in 10 colors for a customized suspension look.
Made in the USA
Every Cruise Series component is manufactured in Orem, UT, ensuring strict quality control and unmatched durability.
Optional Hardware Upgrade
These control arms are designed for installation using factory hardware. If you’re dealing with rusted or stubborn bolts, we offer optional Grade 8 hardware kits separately for a seamless install.
In Conclusion
The Cruise Series Front Upper Control Arms are an essential upgrade for Jeep TJ/LJ owners looking to correct caster angles, improve alignment, and enhance steering stability. For maximum performance, pair them with our Front Lower Control Arms (CRS-J-TJLJ-FL2) and experience a fully dialed-in suspension setup.
